HAVE A NICE SUMMER Passover In June Tradition holds that at the end of the Passover seder the last thing to be eaten is the afikomen, a piece of matzoh broken off and set aside early in the seder for just this pur pose. Often, the person con ducting the seder hides the afikomen and the children pre sent get to search for it. The one who finds it can require the leader to redeem it in ex change for a present. Based on that tradition, the JCC and the Charlotte Jewish Federation created the com munity wide FAMILY AFI KOMEN HUNT. Those who solved clues and discovered where the afikomen had been hidden in Biblical history (the location this year was the Tower of Babel) were invited to come and search for the “real thing” on AprU 14 as part of the JCC Imagination Tour. The lucky finder would have his/her choice of one half of a JCC family membership or a personal b/w TV. Alas, the fickle finger of fate decreed that both the Im agination Tour and the Afikomen Hunt were rained out. So, a slightly soggy afikomen was thoroughly dried and set aside to await rescheduling. On June 2 the longest Passover in history ended as the afikomen once again was sequestered and uncovered by those eligible to participate in the third ANNUAL FAMILY AFIKOMEN HUNT. Those students and parents from the entire Jewish conununity who solved this year’s puzzle are: the students of Mrs. Gail Bienstock’s class at Temple Beth El, the student body of Temple Beth Shalom and the student body of the Hebrew Academy. For those who missed out on the 1985 AFAH (Annual Family Afikomen Hunt), in the words most often heard in the athletic world—wait ’tU next year.
