Passover

Passover begins before sundown tomorrow, April 12. It is the time when families and friends gather to celebrate the Jewish people’s freedom and exodus from Egypt.  Let’s hope this year brings freedom and peace to all communities around the world. The JHSNJ wishes all our readers a happy and healthy Pesach. We hope the photos below bring back fond Passover memories of the past.
