For Hadar Pe’er, St. Paul’s Israeli shaliach, Passover in the Twin Cities has come with some surprises. “I’m coming here from a very different culture,” Pe’er said. “I’m seeing different foods that I’m not used to eating, or different ways to read the Haggadah that I’m not used to.” Learning about those differences are a […]
