The brotherhood members
made a point of seeing that they
were disbursed among the clients at
the seder, says Richman, who noted
that tables were set with alternating
yellow and blue Haggadot, with a
color assigned to each group. "That
helped the communication and
really got the brotherhood interact-
ing\with the clients," she says.

Sally. Krugel, Kadima's develop-
ment director, says the seder
included participation by the
Kadima clients.
"The event is truly a highlight
for our clients, for it demonstrates
a warmth and welcoming spirit
that they don't often experience,"
she says. "The inclusion represents
the meaning of 'let all who are
hungry come and eat,' (and) there
are many kinds of hunger." ❑
