Shabbat shalom! One of our correspondents, Bruce Shaffer, got his pictures published in this very interesting article in The Forward about how the Israeli Samaritans celebrate Passover. For more of his pictures, check out this album of street scenes in the Samaritan village and this album of more photos of the Passover celebration.
Kudos to Jewish Family Service, who had a very successful Executive Lunch Thursday featuring Magic Johnson. We’ll have more on this event next week.
We hope you had a fun Lag B’Omer this week, and to all the mothers out there, best wishes for Mothers’ Day 2015 this Sunday. For all you sons out there: call your mother!
Have a great weekend and enjoy this week’s stories in the BJN.
