even look into having your dress

end up with a truly original gown.

made table decorations or center-
pieces, ask your friends to help
make them. You can also save mon-

film your wedding as opposed to

For some couples, the honey-
moon is the most important as-
pect of the wedding. For others,
it's simply an opportunity to get
away for a few days and unwind.
When planning your honeymoon,
be creative. The most expensive
honeymoons are not necessarily
the best. Often couples have more
fun when they choose a nontra-
ditional honeymoon, such as a
white-water rafting trip down the
Colorado River.
If you're not sure where you
want to go, you may want to con-
tact a travel agent and ask about
special packages for honeymoon-
ers. Often you may be eligible for
additional perks such as room up-
grades, complimentary champagne,
free rental car, etc. Depending on
the time of year, you may also be
able to get off-season rates at some
resorts.
If your budget is tight, consider
a short getaway to an elegant near-
by bed-and-breakfast inn. Or spend
the weekend at a hotel in a neigh-
boring city. Many couples who are
short on cash postpone their hon-
eymoon until later in the year or
until their first anniversary. El

Passover 5756/1996: Let one who is hungry enter and eat

At Passover, we recite these ancient words over the matzah on our seder table:

This is the bread of poverty, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt.
Let all who are hungry enter and eat
all who are in need come and celebrate the Passover.

This year, people among us are slaves to hunger, next year may they be free.
This year, we are here; next year, may we be a step closer to redemption.

Matzah is the bread of poverty, the bread of affliction. Its presence on our table
reminds us that something is wrong. Millions of children, women and men living
among us go hungry. Our tradition teaches us that when anyone in our midst is
deprived, everyone suffers.

During Passover, our only bread is the bread of poverty, so that we may learn and
remember: Our ancestors once were slaves. Even if we now live in comfort, able
to eat what we please, we must keep the memory of slavery alive and provide for
those who are in need today.

By each of us inviting one who is hungry to "enter and eat" at our seder table,
through a contribution to MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, we can confront
hunger, the worst of modern-day plagues. As we do so, we remember the real
meaning of "mazon" — sustenance. As poor and hungry people are sustained, so,
too, will we all be fulfilled.
