Beth Sholom ready for Passover
By Greg Goldfarb
Passover is here, Beth Sholom Home of
Eastern Virginia's dietary staff is in high-
gear - and has been for almost a year.
"Preparing for Passover for us is really a
year-round process," said Don Vick, the
Home's dietary director. "We have been
planning for this year's Passover since the
first day after last year's Passover was
over." Frances lamb
The Home's Passover menu changes
from year'to year, but usually includes beef
brisket, some types of chicken, matzah meal
rolls, tsimmes and chopped liver.
"'One thing we do that we don't do all of
the time is make Passover rolls." said
Frances Lamb, assistant dietary director.
"And some people say that our chopped
liver is the best around.'" Don Viek
A typical first seder menu at BSHEV,
like the one on Friday, April 10, includes, chicken soup with
matzoh balls, chopped liver, wine or grape juice, gefilte fish
with lettuce, parsley, lemon baked chicken, carrot tsimmes,
asparagus tips, matzoh with margarine, brandy peaches, and
assorted cakes and beverages.
Chopped liver is, and has always been. one of the Jewish
community's favorites foods. And nowhere is it more loved -
and the secret recipe more guarded - more than at BSHEV. But
now, after being shrouded in secrecy for years, the Home has
agreed to release the ingredients of its show-stopping chopped
liver,

in a way that we love to see."
One of several intergenera-
tional programs that the Hebrew
Academy conducts with the
Home, this one is by far one of
the most popular.
"The Purim visit is one activi-
ty that the residents really appre-
ciate," said Harvey. "They really
look forward to it year after
year."
HAT Director of Early Child-
hood Education, Alene Kaufman,
agrees.
"This is a wonderful opportu-
nity for our students to participate
in the mitzvah of honoring our
elderly," said Kaufman. "We look
forward to continuing the intera-
gency cooperation between the
Academy and the Home."
Before performing, at BSH, the
students warmed up next door at
Beth Sholom Sands so as to be in
their best voices for the Home's
residents.
"The students really enjoy vis-
iting the home and entertaining
the residents," said Kaufman,
adding that Academy students in
higher grades grace the Home
several other times during the
year, including High Holidays,
because the visitations are so
enriching for them. "They feel a
sense of connection with the Jew-
ish people -- no matter the age."
This year's visit was part of
the Home's continuing celebra-
tion of "Israel at 50."
