The Passover festival is the one occasion
of the year during which the Jewish home
dominates over the synagogue in the spirit
of observance and in honoring our people's
historic traditions. Will the more fortunate
ones in our midst fail to provide sonic hap-
piness for the less happy? Those who still
possess some means, no matter how poor,
must help the needy. Every Jew must
assist the Mo'os Chitim fund with as liberal
a contribution as possible.
