D
ear friends!
This Passover Eve is unlike anything we have ever experienced before. This night will be different from all the other nights indeed!
In this letter we will highlight some of the broader community's virtual programs, activities, lectures, tours for any age and taste - and, of course, Passover programs.
May we find our way through this time of challenge and pain. May we emerge from this slavery with more strength, resilience, compassion and humility than ever before.
Happy Passover! Pesach Sameach!
As always, we are here for you!
Your COJECO Family
