On Tuesday, April 19 at 2:30 p.m. via Zoom, participants will light candles, sing songs and learn about Passover symbols. To encourage interaction, packages including a Haggadah in pictures, song sheet, plague masks and much more will be sent in advance to attendees. To RSVP, you may email [email protected]. All are welcome, so please share this information. A Federation program, JAA is the Jewish community's network that links individuals with disabilities and their families to resources, services, support groups, workshops, clinics and recreational programs within the community.
