Purim is tonight, which means Passover is only a month away. We are blessed again this year with the Max Paul Congregational seder held at Adath Israel on the second night of Passover on April 13th at 6 PM. The seder is free to members and their children. Non members are also welcome to attend. Check out the RSVP form for pricing. The seder is underwritten by Nina and Edward Paul and Family in memory of their son Max.
Additional donors this year include Barry and Julie Brook, Hamilton & Debbie Lempert, Jack & Daniela Rubinstein, Adam & Sherri Symson, Albert & Sherry Weisbrot, and anonymous donors. There is limited space available. Please RSVP as soon as possible. The deadline to RSVP is April 6th.
You may have seen Rabbi Smolkin's and Rabbi Shafrin's email about voting in the upcoming World Zionist Congress elections. As our Rabbis said, "We need to help Israel during this difficult time. We need to support Jewish freedom and pluralism. And we need Israel to continue to be a beacon of light and hope for all Jews. Please make a difference by taking a moment to vote for MERCZ USA (Slate 17) in the World Zionist Congress Elections."
For more than 60 years, Adath Israel has helped those in need for Passover through our Ma’ot Chitim Fund. Caring and committed congregants Will Hirschfeld z’’l, Robert and Yetta Jacobs z’’l, and Lou and Zelda Jacobs stewarded this important fund for many years, allowing Adath Israel to make Passover possible for everyone in our community.
Adath is working with Jewish Family Service (JFS) hoping to provide for 200 families this year. Please consider donating $65 for a family, $130 for 2 families, $1,300 for 20 families, or any amount that you are able to give.
Let us continue Adath’s beautiful tradition of providing for those in need.
If you are able to help, please donate below.
Adath now offers Shabbat Food Baskets that can be displayed in front of the Bimah on Shabbat as an alternative to flowers. The basket display is reusable. The funds donated will help support the Barbash Family Vital Support Center - Heldman Family Food Pantry and Adath Israel. Sponsorships start at $100 and can be made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Contact Kathy Haas in the office at kathy@adath-israel.org for details.
