USY Reminiscing with a Recipe, Sunday, May 5, 1:00pm
OTUSY invites our 8th-12th graders to the OT kitchen to commemorate the loss of all IDF soldiers for Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day). RSVP to Rafi Glazer.
Yom HaZikaron & Yom HaAtzmaut Tekes, Monday, May 13, 6:30pm
Monday evening, May 13, we will mark Yom HaZikaron as well as Yom HaAtzmaut, two Israeli holidays that are fundamentally intertwined with each other. With guidance from Shy Ashkenazi, a talented experiential Israel educator, we will mourn and remember the devastating losses of this past year, as well look ahead to the future with hope as we celebrate Israel's birthday. Through song, poetry, prayer and conversation, we will come together to go from evel (mourning) to yom tov (celebration).
Sunday-Thursday at 8:00pm
Join our evening minyan Sunday-Thursday at 8:00pm to be together and share prayers for Israel, in addition to the evening prayers.
