Yom Tov and Shabbat Pesach Hospitality
Members of Kesher Israel who are able to host visitors and guests over the Yom Tov and Shabbat days of Pesach are asked to contact the Hospitality group as we have many people visiting from out of town and Kesherites who would appreciate hospitality.
Visitors to DC over Yom Tov and Shabbat of Pesach who are looking for hospitality are asked to send an email to our hospitality group who will try to arrange for meals. When sending the email, please include relevant details about yourself so our hospitality committee can find an appropriate host.
