*HBT "Ma Nishtanah"
Ma nishtanah opens the 4 questions of the Passover Seder. It's not a question, but a statement of surprise: "How different is this!"

HBT will use Ma Nishtanah to let you know about events, programs and meetings sponsored by HBT in the next few days.

We will also share resources in the Jewish community that can supplement what we are offering.
