It’s been almost one month since Governor JB Pritzker put the Stay at Home order in effect in Illinois, and we’ve still got a couple weeks to go.

With the Stay at Home order still in place, families were not able to gather at churches or synagogues to celebrate a most holy time of year, nor were families allowed to gather at each others’ homes
