Kesher Marin Newsletter--April 2016

Passover begins at sundown on April 22nd! How will you celebrate? In addition to community Passover programs, seders and resources, this newsletter lists lots of other exciting events all throughout April. I am happy to chat by phone or meet in person to help you find the right fit for your family. If you'd like a personal recommendation, please contact me.

Kesher is always looking for ways to help you do Jewish. With that goal in mind, we have two more resources for you.
