LIFE’S ROUGH WITH/WITHOUT MATZAH
Thank goodness there’s help if you’re without Matzah on Passover!
Some religious Jews raise funds to help their coreligionists in other communities to have the necessary supplies to fulfill religious observance. These stamps were from of a New York City charity that provided Matzah to poor Jews in Jerusalem in the 1940s for the Passover holiday.

IN CASE YOU MISS THE HEAT…
On a hot day like yesterday, you’re probably glad you weren’t cooking over an open hearth.

REALLY… SUMMER’S COMING… REALLY!!!
The sun will be shining so I’ll get my feet moving.
Dancing in the summer time can be a sweaty job. But, with the weather we have been having, who can’t help but dance to either take your mind off it, or get ready for it to actually be warm!
This towel with a fringe, from the early 20th century, depicts a Russian folk dance. Their joyous dancing will hopefully inspire you to do a two-step of your own. Remember your sunscreen and water, and, of course, don’t forget your dancing shoes.
