Holidays often pull families closer– even communities. But Halloween? Can zombies, ghosts, gory vampires and sugary treats bring your crew together?

Pi Day is an unofficial holiday that celebrates the mathematical constant pi (π). It is celebrated on March 14 in countries that follow the month/day date format because the digits in this date (3/14) correspond with the first three digits of π (3.14). Saturday, March 14, 2015 will be a very special Pi Day - one that only comes along once every 100 years! Do you celebrate this Day?
If so, how??

Traditions? Our families have a few -- especially on Superbowl Sunday. What are your family's traditions, customs or rituals? Tell us about them, or listen to one family's story about their efforts to make old traditions new again.

Two new segments from HFC!!

We interviewed Cheryl Stumbo -
survivor of the 2006 Jewish Federation Shooting in Seattle and citizen activist for the recently passed I-594 in Washington State.

Cheryl chronicles her journey from the events of that horrific day, her road to recovery, and ultimately how and when she was able to "raise her hand" and advocate for important gun laws in Washington State and around the country. In light of the recent passage of I-594 in Washington, the recent Marysville school shootings, and yesterday's 2nd Anniversary of Sandy Hook, Cheryl's story remains timely, powerful and important.
It was honor to meet Cheryl and to be able to share her story, and the amazing work she has been doing.

On July 28, 2006, Cheryl Stumbo experienced a living nightmare when a man walked into the Seattle Jewish Federation where Cheryl worked and then opened fire.
