 FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE AT THE JEA

Due to the JEA Shabbaton, we will be having a special Friday night service at the JEA at 6pm and not at the AA. We hope to see you at the Shabbaton, but if you can not make it, we still would love to have you for service.

WHAT DOES ISRAEL MEAN TO YOU!
|
Please also join us at the JEA for Israel@70 on April 19th to see the finished product, see a video with pictures from our congregational trip, and celebrate Israel with the Savannah community!
This past Sunday, we had a wonderful turnout to help make bricks decorated with answers to the question, "What does Israel mean to you?" which will be put together into a "Kotel," representing the Western Wall in Jerusalem, at the JEA's Israel@70 celebration on Thursday, April 19th. If you were unable to come but would like to make your own brick, please contact Tova Tolman at
[email protected] for instructions.
