Evelyn Abraham 631 424-6922 Evelyn_ [email protected] Sisterhood of the Huntington Jewish Center 510 Park Avenue Huntington, NY 11743 Matzah Fund Dear Congregant, For each of us, Passover is a holiday overflowing with memories – seders with our grandparents, relatives and friends; asking the four questions for the first time; a first seder with a new husband or wife; or the first time a loved one was not present. Happy memories and sad merge together at one time as we gather around the seder table during this special Jewish holiday. The needy in our community also have Passover memories. By supplying them with essentials to celebrate this holiday, their special memories, like our own, will be accompanied by the warmth and beauty of the Passover Seder. Please be part of this mitzvah, especially this year, by contributing to Sisterhood’s Annual Matzah Fund Appeal. Your check can be made payable to the Huntington Jewish Center Sisterhood, sent or delivered to my attention in the synagogue office or payment can be made online at www.HJCNY.org – click on Quick Donate and specify Matzah Fund as Passover is right around the corner, Please send in your contribution as soon as possible. All of us in Sisterhood thank you for your generosity and concern and wish you and your family good health and happiness in this Pesach season. Sincerely, Janet Kushnick Janet Kushnick V.P.
