The weather was chilly but the atmosphere was warm and festive, as some twenty hardy souls made their way to one of the picnic areas in the Carmel Forest on the fourth day of Pesach.

The participants included members of ESRA and their friends, and one couple brought along their two grandchildren. The youngsters enjoyed exploring the area and, with some of the adults, discovered lots of beautiful spring flowers. Others sat and chatted and shared their Pesach goodies with their friends.

Thanks are due to our Vice-Chairman, Harry Hiller, his wife, Marion, and Doreen and Merton Feingold, who got up very early to reserve two tables in the picnic area, thus ensuring that we all had somewhere to sit and enjoy our picnic in the company of our fellow ESRA members.
