Shabbat Kedoshim

Bar & Bat Mitzvah Class - Yom HaShoah

Last Sunday, we were learning about the Holocaust, and talked about the importance of hearing the stories and to keep telling them to our friends and families.

We are holding a morning service almost every Sunday at 9am, and we would appreciate it if more community members will be able to join us and help with the Minyan. Thank you!

**Yom HaShoah Ceremony at Kadimah School**

On Monday, after the morning T’filah, we held a ceremony to mark Yom HaShoah in the school.
We spoke about the importance of hope, even in hard times and paid our respect to the victims and the survivors with the traditional siren.
A Big thank you to Yaniv and the students for the beautiful ceremony.
