Kesher Newsletter - April/Passover 2016
 
Dear Kesher families,

Passover begins at sundown on April 22nd. In addition to community Passover programs, seders and activities, there are many exciting events all throughout April. If you aren't sure what to do or where to go, I am happy to email, chat by phone or meet in person to help you find the right fit for your family before my final day as your concierge, April 15th. 

Also, if you are thinking of hosting Seder this year, check out 
Seder in a Box. This fantastic program, brought to you by the Jewish Community Library, is offering sets of printed haggadot on loan and they have several versions perfect for families with young children! Click HERE for more details. And watch your inbox for our brand new Passover @Home guide for families.

Happy Passover,
