April 15, 2022 was highly memorable in that it was the first home game for the Red Sox in 2022 and
Temple Tifereth Israel had one of the most enjoyable “Simchas” in memory – a festive and complete Passover Seder.
The Seder seating limit was reached well before the date of the Seder. There were some who
wanted to attend but could not because of the limit on attendance. LESSON: Next year, reserve seats at the Seder
early!
There was no charge for attending the Seder. BUT, donations to cover the cost of the Seder were solicited. It's not
too late - if you would like to help defray the cost of the Seder, you can still do so by writing and sending a check to
Temple Tifereth Israel, or You can now make donations to Temple Tifereth Israel on-line. You can do so by clicking
on the Donate button below.
The Seder was completely arranged by Rabbi Ben Flax and his wife Adena. They, and a number of
Temple helpers, took care of all the details: setting up the tables, obtaining all the ingredients for the Seder meal and
Seder ceremonies, making the Temple kitchen kosher for Passover, cooking the Seder meal, serving the Seder meal – complete
with chicken soup and matzoh balls, a brisket main course - and a wonderful selection of dessert cakes and cookies,
the Passover wine and other somewhat more potent drinks.
The Seder was preceded by afternoon and Friday evening services. The Seder itself was a complete
Seder, from the first cup of wine to the last cup of wine and the final words, “NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM”, followed by the
very spirited singing of “Adir Hu”, Chad Gadya” and “Ehchad Mi Yodea”.
Everything went off without a hitch. In spite of the Jewish reputation of always being late, the
entire evening proceeded on schedule: services at 6:30, Seder at 7:00, and conclusion at 10:30. It was an evening of
perfection – in baseball parlance, IT WAS A GRAND SLAM HOME RUN!
Kol Hakavod and Todah Rabah!

During March and April this year, six congregants of Temple Tifereth Israel took a Red Cross CPR (Cardiac Pulmonary
Resuscitation) course. All six participants successfully completed the course and received Red Cross CPR
certifications.
Over 500,000 cardiac arrests occur each year. CPR training from the American Red Cross can be the difference between life
and death. The CPR course taken at our Temple was given by an American Red Cross expert and satisfies OSHA regulatory
requirements. The Temple members who completed the training are now prepared to provide care when if and when it's
needed.
Shown below are pictures taken at the CPR training course.
