First Pesach in Rhode Island

Passover Is Almost Here: A time when Jews all over the world gather with friends and family, to celebrate our Holiday of Freedom.

Pesach

This year, Mr & Mrs Abq Jew
will celebrate Pesach for the
first
 time in the Ocean State.
With family, while thinking of friends
 in the Land of Enchantment.

Abq Jew here thoughtfully provides his and your favorite
three (3) classic videos. 
What would Pesach be without them?

1. Google Exodus: Best. Passover. Video. Ever.


2. Passover Rhapsody: Second. Best. Passover. Video. Ever.


3. The Passover Prank. Best. Passover. Prank. Video. Ever. For parents who (especially) miss their kids on Pesach. 

Who know that Zoom is never enough.


As the Seders approach, Abq Jew must remind us all
(he must! he must!) that Good News, Salvation and Comfort
are just one (1) Pesach visitor away.

?אחד מי יודע
Tonight Could Be The Night!


At our Pesach seders
we Jews have been opening our doors to Elijah for thousands of years.

We still believe that Elijah the Prophet will return tonight
and announce the Coming of the Messiah.

When that happens, our first question will be:

Did Elijah remember to send out a press release?

If he did — you may learn the Good News in a few days or weeks.
But you can always hear about Salvation and Comfort at

A Zissen Pesach, World!
Chag Kasher veSameach, New Mexico!
Happy Passover, Rhode Island!

Take it easy! 
You will perform Bedikat Chametz, burn the chametz, and publicly announce that any chametz remaining in your possession is 'ownerless property, as the dust of the earth'. Take it easy!

The Abq Jew Calendar Prepares

To Sign Off: It's been more than 15 years!

Abq Jew set up the Community Calendar at 

Abq Jew Calendar

https://www.abqjew.com/calendar.php

to inform current, new, and prospective visitors and residents about Jewish events in New Mexico.

Specifically - Abq Jew set up the Calendar to enable Jewish New Mexico's organizations and institutions to coordinate their event planning.

Abq Jew has made the Calendar (and the Upcoming Community Events email) available to the world 24/7 for more than 15 years. 

From the beginning, the Calendar - and all of Abq Jew's work - has been supported by many of New Mexico's individuals, businesses, and Jewish institutions. 

Thank you

Later, the Calendar was also supported by and shared with the Jewish Federation, and appeared on the Jewish Federation's website for many years. Then, the Jewish Community Foundation continued that support. 

But now - it's time for something new.

The end is near

But it's not here yet.

To explain all this more concisely: 

  • The Abq Jew Website will remain up indefinitely. But updating it will take place only occasionally, as Abq Jew's time permits.
  • The Abq Jew Blog will remain up indefinitely. But updating it will take place only occasionally, as Abq Jew's time permits.
  • The Abq Jew Calendar will remain up indefinitely (as part of the Website). But Abq Jew will not update it after March 30.

Abq Jew will continue to send the weekly Upcoming Community Events email until March 30.

Until then (and for all time) -

Live long and prosper

And remember - you can buy Abq Jew a coffee anytime!

Ko-fi

Remembering Neil Sedaka of blessed memory
