FREDERICTON NEWS BY AYTEN KRANAT
Children in the chedar class baked a variety of hamentaschen for the Purim holiday which they took home. The Passover holiday centered around the discussion and activities of the “four questions”. Of course. The favourite part of the Seder was the searching for and the finding of the Afikoiman. The children have been learning some Israeli dancing and practicing Barachot during snack time. After Yom Ha’atzmaut, they are now looking forward to Shavuot. On behalf of the Jewish community, a thank you is extended to Alexander Shaulov for having us partnering with the Federal Volunteer Income Tax Initiative. This is the second year of our participation in this program under Alex’s leadership. Thank you to Dr. Israel Unger and his committee for once again organizing the Holocaust Commemoration Ceremony. Shelley Stephens welcomes her sister Rhoda Daouine (nee Budovitch) for Passover from Moncton and celebrated the 2nd Seder with family. Mazel Tov to Alex and his family on his graduation from UNB Fredericton’s Faculty of Law. We wish him well as he returns to Montreal to further his career. Mazel Tov to Marni Gelkopf and Yosi Lazarev on their engagement and upcoming wedding in August. Wish Mazel Tov to their parents Dr. & Mrs. Gelkopf and Mr. & Mrs. Lazarev and families.

Message from Shelley Stephens, Sisterhood President, Sgoolai Israel Synagogue: Our Annual Passover Seder was held on Friday night, March 30, 2018 with Rabbi Yosef Goldman and Shaindy Goldman, sponsored by Sisterhood, Sgoolai Israel Synagogue. It was well attended with over 30+ people enjoying the evening. Guests as far away as Israel, Woodstock, Toronto and Maine joined us. We welcomed Rabbi’s son, Netanal Goldman, my cousin Morton Allen Cohen, Eli and Rina Goldman. The community took part in reading the hagaddah. I want to thank all of my volunteers who assisted in bringing this event together, many hands behind the scene make light work. Special thanks to our Chef, Aggie’s Catering and to the Knights of Columbus who have participated for several years. S
