Passover begins the evening of Friday, April 15th. " Jew Belong " offers two ideas you might want to include in your Seder: They are: Peace Olives for Ukraine (inspired by the olive branch that signified peace in the story of Noah’s ark), and the modern-day Ten Plagues of Antisemitism, which are accompanied by Seder Coffee to wake us up.

Minyan List for the Week
Congregants commemorating a yahrzeit may wish to honor that event by leading some portion of the evening’s service. It might be as small as leading a prayer or could be leading all of Mincha or Ma’ariv. If you are interested in taking this honor feel free to call Joe Doniger at 781-910-7601 or email us at MinyanRangers@bnaitikvahma.org at least two days in advance, and we’ll help make arrangements with that night’s minyan leader. Due to the pandemic, as many people are observing a virtual Shiva week, if you inform the leader, a third Mourners' Kaddish will be included as is done in a shiva house.
