or go to the History page and click on Family Stories. I advise that you go there often because I and those in the 3rd generation are already beginning to suffer life's age-related ills/disorders, like short-term memory loss.
Hears an idea...

At Passover every year, after you tell the story of the Exodis, tell a family story about Hillel and the Kindling or How The Mark Family Came to America. And if there is a chance to come together again, don't hesitate.

If you have family news email it to Val and we'll all be informed. Good news, bad news, share.
FaceBook is a great way to stay close. If you are not already on FaceBook, please think about joining. Go to FaceBook.com to register.

I am always looking for new recipes to share with the family. If you have special meals/treats, email it to Val to upload on our Recipes page.
