Getting
Involved
Jewish Family
Service Passover
Dear Friends at
Pardes Levavot,
Passover begins this year on April 19. In addition to holding Passover
seders in 7 different retirement homes, Boulder Jewish Family Service
does something a little more special, and a little more personal. Last
year we delivered more than 80 Passover “goody bags” to Jewish elders
in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and independent
facilities in the Boulder area to enable each person to celebrate the
holiday with traditional foods. This project has been a great success
and the recipients really appreciate all of our efforts. This is a
great mitzvah project for everyone, and we hope you will participate.
The bags will be delivered on April 10th, so please bring your
donations in no later than April 4th.
Please bring any of the following items with you to shul. There are
drop off boxes in the building lobby.
KOSHER FOR PASSOVER
Matzah
Gefilte Fish
Macaroons/ Cookies/ Cake
Jelly or Chocolate Candy

Boulder Jewish Family Service deeply appreciates your kindness. Thanks
so much for helping us perform this mitzvah for members of our
community. Due to your contributions, there will be many Jewish elders
and disabled residents in Boulder who will be able to celebrate
Passover in their own homes.
Thank you again,
Margie Freedman and Roberta Reinfeld

Shepherd of the Hills Bulletin
Items

A
little boy returned home from
Hebrew school and his father asked, "what did you learn
today?"
"The Rabbi told us how
Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt."
"How?"
The boy said "Moses was a big strong
man and he beat up Pharoah. Then while he was down, he got all the
people
together and ran towards the sea. When he got there, he had the Corps
of
Engineers build a huge pontoon bridge. Once they got on the other
side,
they blew up the bridge while the Egyptians
were trying to cross."
The father was shocked. "Is
that what the Rabbi taught you?"
The boy replied, "No. But you'd
never believe the story he DID tell us!"
