Kere is a chance to make a real difference, to get involved in this com-
munity wide effort. Last year's program brought together 350 families
who opened their homes and hearts to their fellow Jews. People in
need of a seder dinner with their Mispacha!

Libby and I want to thank all who participated in 1999 and invite
more families this year to enjoy the mitzvah of "Hachnaset Orchim" -
the welcoming of guests at your seder table. We were all slaves in
Egypt and many people from the former Soviet Union have left slavery
in their lifetimes to come to America.
