Shabbat Candlelighting This Week: 7:25pm | Shabbat Ends: 8:28pm
Dear WJC Family,
Tami and I are eagerly anticipating hosting our first “typical” seders for Passover in this house—may we continue on this path and it be so. You know what I mean by typical—lots of people around the table, no Zoom computer running, plenty of haggadot stained with wine from mis-aimed plague droplets—routine seder stuff. Although I must admit, I am not sure if I will ever think of a seder, or any gathering of people, as routine again. Continue reading Rabbi Arnowitz’s Passover Message
Visit wjcenter.org/chametz2022 to delegate the power of attorney for sale of chametz as soon as possible so that it reaches us no later than Friday, April 15, at 11:48am.
