JOY Program Passover 2025

On Tuesday, April 8 the Friendship Circle partnered with the Branch and Merakey for an in-person gathering focused on Passover. The goal of JOY Programming is to bring together adult members of the community to celebrate Jewish holidays together. During this program, residents of Merakey learned about the meaning of Passover from Rabbi Mordy and enjoyed Passover-themed activities including bingo, sand art, and scratch art. At the end, residents took home matzah to share together at their upcoming Passover seders. Thank you to Merakey for hosting this event! We look forward to the next celebration.
