The eighth day of Passover is one of 4 dates in the Jewish calendar when we observe Yizkor, the short memorial service for the departed. Also, this Shabbat, Fred Rosenberg will be observing the yahrzeit of his father, and Ben Winkler will be observing the yahrzeit of his mother, Reba Winkler. Jane Pitt will lead services, testing out a new siddur. Please join us and help form a minyan, so all who want to can recite Kaddish.

Marc Berkowitz recommends two must see videos of Newark mayor Cory Booker. He’s a great friend of the Jews and an especially strong booster of Chabad. Very inspiring.
