For the past couple of years, Rabbi Shimon Kashani has been concerned about Jewish education. While he saw several day schools in Los Angeles, he was worried that some students whose families couldn\’t afford the fees were opting for public schools, and therefore had limited options for Jewish education.
I\’m spending Passover in Chicago — home of the Cubs, the Bears and the whole Davis mishpachah (family). Mom\’s serving up chopped liver, chicken soup, matzah balls, matzah kugel, gefilte fish — and those are just the appetizers. We\’ll drink wine, read the haggadah and belt out our never-ending version of \”Chad Gadya.\”
It\’ll be a feast of freedom, family and what else — food. One of my favorite holidays, Pesach does more than bring loved ones together, it brings us together with spirit.
