Passover is my favorite holiday. It encompasses all the traditions I love: the kitchen smells that bring back memories of my Mother's holiday cooking, and a house filled with friends and family. It tells the amazing story, albeit now abridged as I've aged a bit since my parents Maxwell House Haggadah when seders took hours and hours, of freedom and the unifying of a people against all odds. It normalizes adding foods like parsley, salt water and horseradish to our dinner table, which ordinarily wouldn't be there. It takes gefilte fish, which so many of us avoid, and makes it impossible to resist (I'm going homemade this year in honor of my mother, who used to have the carp and whitefish take over our bathtub before Passover in our one-bathroom home). It is another holiday with yummy brisket, great sides and salmon. Most importantly, it serves as a strong memory of a simpler time of my youth with parental protection, and the unlimited love of my parents and family. Something I hope I have passed on too.

On behalf of the Kallen Family and your Team at Prosperity Financial Group, I want to wish you and your family a terrific Passover, filled with love, family, friends, health and all those great smells.
