Home for the Holidays B’chol dor vador...In Each Generation This year, the first Seder is Monday, March 25th. To experience the power of the Passover story—our communal release from bondage—we need a community to tell the story. Are you new to our CBI community or looking to enhance your experience of the story of Passover? Do you have space at your Seder table and would like to invite a guest or guests? A Home for the Holidays is Congregation Beth Israel’s program for matching members with a Seder. Please contact Tracy in the CBI office at (503) 222-1069 before March 11th so that we can do our best to match hosts with guests. All participants will be contacted on or before March 18th.
