We are undoubtedly coming up on a most peculiar Pesach. In wanting to create a fun, Pesach-themed and physically-distanced friendly activity for this upcoming Yom Tov into Shabbat - Three Day Extravaganza, we invite you to our neighborhood Pesach WindowScavenger Hunt. Families from our shul have been asked to curate certain Pesach-related displays in a front window or other space prominently viewable from the street/sidewalk for each of us to enjoy as we go for a stroll or walk over Yom Tov! To enjoy and take part, simply print this guide and instructions and go for a walk over Yom Tov! (CLICK HERE -- BE SURE TO SEE BOTH PAGES)
Instructions:
1) 16 displays have been placed in the windows across the neighborhood, each highlighting some element of Pesach (see the list on the next page).
2) Before Yom Tov, print these sheets and find 17 paper clips.
3) Over Yom Tov, go on a walk with your family and see how many you can find!! All the houses in question are between Norwood and Mohegan and between Albany and Mohawk (inclusive) and all displays are prominently visible from the sidewalk.
4) PLEASE REMEMBER, while outside, it is critical to maintain all physical distancing measures. Please do not do this in groups or congregate in front of any of the displays.
5) BONUS: See Officer Dave -- wish him, from a safe distance, a very happy holiday!
6) Complete the whole list? Let us know which was your favorite at YouthDirector@YoungIsraelWH.org\
