For those looking for connections for the end of Passover and for Yizkor, there are a few additional places in the area. Ner Tamid is a Reform congregation in West Cobb. East Cobb hosts Temple Kol Emeth, another Reform congregation. Just over the line in Roswell are Temple KehIllat Chaim and my synagogue, Temple Beth Tikvah.
For those observing Easter, may it be a joyous, renewing celebration for you.
For those observing Passover, may it be a liberating week and a zissen Pesach!

Thanks for the information, Rabbi Greene. We were focusing just on the first two days of Pesach in this list, but it's important for people to know about their options for the end of the holiday and Yizkor.
