Happy Passover

On Wednesday night we - like most American Jews - will be celebrating Passover. If one trusts the genesis of the Jewish calendar, the exodus took place some 3,300 years ago. As one might expect, there is a slavery issue in that region with millions of Iranians enslaved by their own fanatical leadership and the war to liberate them (there are other reasons for the war of course) seems to focus on a similar nautical conundrum: Who will part the sea at Hormuz?

At our community we have (as we always do) provided Kosher for Passover food for many who needed our support. Led as the effort is each year by Ellen Hull, food pick up (and in some cases home delivery) took place earlier this week and will be all done before the holiday.

Thank you Ellen, Myra and Michelle for distributing the food and thank all of you who donated funds to make the drive possible. If you have not yet donated and wish to, it is not too late. Go to jewishnewbedford.org and donate via PayPal. Chag Sameach to you and yours.
