he spring holidays begin with Purim and roll through Passover to Shavuot.
Holidays mean celebration, music, food and praise to our God. Holidays are
also great opportunities to share God's goodness with friends and neighbors.
This year our annual Purim Shpiel was produced and directed by our Shavei
Tsion congregation. The former Soviet Union filled in as the backdrop for the
play. The evil Hamanov's plot to destroy the Jews is foiled by brave Esther
and Mordachai. The King, (played by our very own maestro Leonid Gelbet)
finally catches on and of course there is the happily ever after ending!
Our national youth group, Ha Katzir (the Harvest) gathers together for
worship and praise on each of the major feast days. This last Passover, Ha
Katzir gathered at Tents of Mercy with Judah and Jen Morrison leading
worship.
Passover also saw Leon Mazin organize Seders for Russian speaking Holocaust
survivors in Haifa, Nazareth and Kiryat Yam. A total of over 300 seniors were
treated to a Passover celebration. Some of the seniors got into the act
themselves and serenaded us with old songs in Russian and Yiddish.
