“Anyone who elaborates in speaking about the Exodus from Egypt is to be praised”

Do you have a beautiful haggadah? Is there a book or poem on the exodus story that has enhanced your Passover experience? Do you have a Passover cookbook to recommend? Are you looking for inspiration for your upcoming seder?

The Temple Emanu-el Library invites you to stay after kiddush on Saturday, March 17 for a community-wide book show and tell. Just show up with a Passover-themed book in hand and we’ll go around the room, one person at a time, telling each other what our books are about and why we care about them.

RSVPs are not required, however, if you’d like to ensure that the library has a copy of your book so that others may borrow it, or if you would like to donate a gift copy of your book to the library, please email [email protected].

FUTURE DATES Passover Preparations

Passover is one of the most elaborate , replete with lavish Seder meals, with family and friends, celebratory services in the synagogue and special foods, some of which are unique to each family. And lots of cleaning and changing dishes! Along with these preparations are the extensive regulations for eliminating Hametz, leaven products, from our homes and diets for the entire week of Passover. Ideally, we finish open leaven products which we have been using, and we dispose of whatever is left. In order avoid finan- cial loss, like pouring out what’s left in a nice bottle of Scotch, the rabbis developed the custom of selling our Hametz to someone who is not Jewish. I will be happy to be your agent to sell you Hametz. Please go to [email protected] and send me your name and the address of where your Hametz is kept. Please send me your request by 8am on March 30, which is Erev Pesah/Erev Shabbat.

Have a wonderful Passover. Rabbi Wayne Franklin a

Having a Minyan twice every day is one of the ways we support each other as a community. These daily services offer those in mourning or observing a Yahrzeit an opportunity to recite , and they provide all of us a space for us to come together in communal prayer.

Unfortunately, it has occasionally been difficult to find ten people who can attend and make Minyan possible. We are turning to you to ask you to consider attending Minyan. Please consider joining us at the following times. We could especially use your help on the weekends! Thank you for supporting this important aspect of our community!

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: 7:00AM AND 5:45PM SATURDAY EVENING: TIMES VARY; SEE THE TEMPLE CALENDAR, WEBSITE, OR WEEKLY E-MAIL SUNDAYS: 8:00AM AND 5:45PM Emily’s Bat Mitzvah Project! Please help me bring dancewear to children who can’t afford it. I’ve been dancing since I was two, and if I wasn’t able to dance because of money, I would be very sad. My goal is to be able to help other dancers live their dream.

I’ve chosen to support Traveling Tutus and they ask for the following for donations:

1. New tights only 2. Costumes must be no more than ten years old 3. Shoes must have a match
