Good Morning Everyone,
We here at Matzafun want to extend a giving hand for all of the victims of the horrendous earthquake and tsunami that destroyed parts of Japan on Friday.
If you would like to donate any funds or find a way you can help, please visit Jewishfederations.org! The Jewish hand extends beyond our community, and it is vital to help any human in need. We are fortunate people in the states, so don’t be afraid to give all you can to help those who survived, but have to rebuild from the ground up!
Thanks!
There are 41 days left!
What are some things on your less than a month and a half away to do list??

Have a great shabbat everyone!
I was searching through different federations all around the country yesterday, and was impressed with some locations having a fantastic repertoire of pre-Passover activities.
Just a reminder, if you want to create your own seder plate, create your own haggadah, learn the songs and learn how to make the food, don’t forget to check your local federation, synagogue and other locations for a schedule.
You might be pleasantly surprised and make a new friend today!
