Shabbat Emor
Bar & Bat Mitzvah Class - Yom HaZikaron
On Sunday, we were learnt about Yom HaZikaron and talked about the importance of memory and knowing our past. Ariel shared Erez’s story, Ariel’s dear friend who died as a soldier in a terror attack on January 2017.
In the second part of the class, we were exploring Israel’s map, we learnt about different places and celebrating Yom HaAtzmaut.
We are holding a morning service almost every Sunday at 9am, and we would appreciate it if more community members would be able to join us and help with the Minyan. Thank you!
