Pesach 5768/2008
"All who are hungry, let them come and eat" is not just something we read in the Haggadah once a year. It is said the Abraham and Sarah placed such great importance on welcoming others that they kept the walls of their tents open so that the could see potential guests from a long way off and "ran" to prepare for them. At Tikvat Israel, we strive to emulate this example and offer members of our community to be either a host or a guest at a Passover Seder.
