Cecil played a key role in creating the Glide community — a beautiful, welcoming place

Rest in peace, my friend

As Passover begins, we remember its story: Jews were slaves, threw off their bonds & returned to their homeland of Israel.

For millennia Jews have celebrated the message of liberation and justice that is core to Pesach.

As we gather tonight, we pray for peace.
