Shabbat Shalom 

 

The very first halacha of the laws of Passover calls on us to contribute to Maot Chitim - funds to insure that all Jews can afford and enjoy a Passover experience. We will distribute funds to needy families locally and in Israel who need our support. Please send checks to the CAS Passover Fund. Also, consider an expression of support to members of the IDF by sending a Passover care package via www.thankisraelisoldiers.com

 

Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom and early Happy Pesach!

 

Visit our Kiddush Conversation Table this Shabbat morning in the social hall hosted by Veronica Reich, Glenn Reicin and Harvey Berman as they reflect on the highlights, challenges and opportunities from the recent AIPAC Policy Conference.


Thanks to Elissa, Aviva, & Jodi for all their work on the upcoming dinner.  Thanks to all of our generous participants.  We look forward to celebrating Sunday!
