Recently, students in grades 2-5 from the Alperin Schecter Day School
in Providence presented parts of the Haggadah for Passover to residents
of Tamarisk – the JSA sponsored Assisted Living Residence in
Warwick.
Students explained the special meaning of the Hagaddah and sang traditional
songs such as Dayeinu, Chad Gadya, Lshanah Haba'ah B'yerushalayim.
They also sang Mah Nishtanah (The four questions) in a new tune.
The program started off the singing Hinei Mah Tov in an Israeli tune.
This song means: How good it is, and how pleasant, when we dwell together
in unity. Members of the audience were
touched by the moving preformance, reminding them of their experiences
surrounding holidays when they were young.periences surrounding

It was obvious by the expressions on faces around the room, crossing
generational lines – that all were delighted to see traditions
carried on by the hearts and the minds of our future.
