Time has flown since our last Family Table distribution and before the memory of Passover fades, I want to thank everyone who helped make the holiday especially meaningful for our many recipients. The following communities provided extra collections of Passover foods:
Young Israel of Brookline Temple Beth Abraham of Canton Or Y'Israel Solomon Schechter Day School Temple Aliyah Temple Sinai JCC Preschool of Brighton Ohabei Shalom Newton Centre Minyan Temple Shir Tikvah Congregation Dorshei Tzedek |
Temple Isaiah |
Thanks to all of you, we were able to offer our clients special Passover bags that included matzo, matzo meal, macaroons, gefilte fish, horseradish, grape juice, matzo ball soup mix, and potato pancake mix. Special mention goes out to the students at SSDS for pre-assembling lovely Pesach gift bags, and to the teen cooking class at Temple Beth Shalom in Needham for joining us one evening to help us assemble all these items!
