Dear Friend and Neighbor,

 

As this first night of Passover begins, I would like to take the time to wish all of you celebrating, a joyous and happy holiday. This is a time of remembrance for those of the Jewish faith, recognizing their escape from slavery and oppression so many years ago. It is a time where we commemorate the journey so many have taken from hardship to freedom. 

 

Let us all take a moment during this holy week to recognize how far we as a community have come over time, and give thanks as we continue to strive forward.

 

Chag Semeach/Happy Passover!

 

Sincerely,

 

Ydanis Rodriguez
