Photos of Purim in Jerusalem


Hi Everyone!

Today, Wednesday March 11, was Purim in Jerusalem.
I took a bus to Jerusalem and then the light rail to Yaffo Street.
Most of the the photos I took were on Ben Yehuda Street.
I posted the photos online at:

I also upload the photos to a Facebook album at:

Enjoy the photos.
Please share. Thank you!

Have a good night,
Jacob

Haod Avi Chai - The Short Vort Haggadah by David Goodman


Hi Everyone!

For the past 8 years, I have been going to my friends, the Goodmans, for Pesach Seder. During the seder, David Goodman, would give short
vorts about the Haggadah. It reminds me of how my mother a"h, who was a Hebrew teacher in Brooklyn, would also give explanations during the seder.

David has published a Haggadah called "Haod Avi Chai" with over 450 short vorts about the Haggadah. I highly recommend it. You can see additional details about the book and ordering information at:
https://haod-avi-chai.co.il/index.html

Enjoy the new Haggadah and consider getting a copy to give as a Passover gift.

Have a good night,
