HOD Galil was out in force at the 12th annual United Orthodox Synagogues Man’s Mock Seder, sponsored by UOS, Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism, Congregation Beth Yeshuran and Congregation Brith Shalom. Twenty-eight brethren came out to enjoy a fun evening of steaks, scotch and beer along with some great conversation and Passover skit put on by the attending Rabbis: They debated which of the Four Sons were most relevant in today's world. Many brought clothes to be donated to Career Gear Houston, a non-profit organization promoting the economic independence of low-income men by providing professional attire and essential life skills. All monetary proceeds went to the Jewish Family Services Passover Assistance Fund. 

The annual event is held in memory of Phil Brochstein, who was a dedicated volunteer and instrumental in establishing this program.
