Read the article in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/world/middleeast/03goldstone.html?_r=1 This year,we will be celebrating the holiday of Passover from April 18th in the evening,to April 26th in the evening. In the spirit of Jewish learning,join us in celebrating the Jewish pilgrimage festival of Passover with old and new friends. The Passover Seder,which retells the story of Passover through ritual reading of the Hagaddah followed by a shared meal,is open to everyone. All backgrounds and affiliations will have a great time. Whether you grew up having a Passover Seder every year with your family or whether you have never been to a Passover Seder,you are welcome to join us. No experience or knowledge of Hebrew is necessary,and no question is too simple. This Passover Seder will include all the traditional components conducted in Hebrew and English,in an explanatory fashion for those who wish to know more. But,as with any good Seder,the questions will probably be more numerous and more interesting than the answers. Those with more knowledge and experience are encouraged to help lead and explain the seder. Guests will be treated to a traditional full-course Passover Seder meal,prepared in accordance with Kashrut. Including:fish,meat,chicken soup,side dishes,all the Matzah you can eat,wine,grape juice,and an assortment of delicious deserts. Vegetarian options are available upon request. A seat at the Passover Seder table is waiting for you. Price per guest is $40 for adults and $30 for children 13 and under. Alternate arrangements can be made for students that cannot cover the cost,so that no one misses out! Tickets for the Seder must be purchased in advanced,before Sunday,April 3rd,2011. Seating is limited,so register early! The Seder will take place at 7:30PM on Monday,April 18th,2011 at the Goldstein residence –218 Boland Ave. Sudbury,ON Are you unable to attend the Seder?

An editorial in The Prince Arthur Herald recently put it this way: In Israel,all citizens,20% of whom are Arab,vote in elections,participate in government and serve in the army–opportunities that were not afforded to non-whites in South Africa under apartheid. Israel is not above criticism. As a pluralistic,democratic state,there is abundant legitimate criticism and debate,both domestically and abroad. This year,some students launched their own Israel peace week,drawing attention to Israel’s peace efforts and to the state’s commitment to democracy and human rights,and to Israel’s remarkable record of innovation and accomplishment,despite persistent threats to its existence from determined antagonists. There are multiple and vexing challenges to bringing about a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. If the end is to promote peace,university and civil agencies must embrace respectful debate and active listening,as opposed to heated,hurtful and distorted rhetoric. | ||||
