Long Beach Jewish Life April 2016 | Page 3

PUBLISHER'S NOTE

Welcome to our special Passover issue! This month, we've added some features that are designed to make your holiday a little happier and perhaps a bit more meaningful.

As the political drama of this year's Presidential primary has directed part of its focus on immigrants, the Passover holiday provides us with a well-timed opportunity to re-visit the history and nature of Jewish immigration to the United States.

We also take a look at the impact that Coca-Cola had on Kosher for Passover foods. And Chef Paula Shoyer shares some of her favorite Passover recipes.

You'll also learn about the amazing work that the National Council of Jewish Women Long Beach Section has been doing in our community for the past 70 years. And you'll hear from Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna about the reasons behind recent crime trends in Long Beach.

We've even added a couple of photo galleries featuring many of our LBJL readers at recent community events. There's truly something for everyone in this month's issue!

Chag Sameach!
