Dear friends,

Today as we prepare for the Passover Celebrations which begin tomorrow evening, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, our dear friends around the world who love and stand with the people of Israel. This is always such a special time of year for our people, and we are aware now more than ever just how important your part is in bringing our people to our homeland, showing them care and God's unchanging love in so many ways.

We are so thankful for your friendship throughout the year, and now as we retell the story of Exodus and God's unfathomable love for the children of Abraham, it is good and important that in this we all stand upright, together and united. 

Thank you. We love you and pray that you will enjoy this wonderful season of joy and blessings with your family and loved ones. 

Shalom and Hag Samach (Happy Holidays)
