On behalf of the Arizona Chapter of the Pajama Program,
I would like to thank everyone who took part in our Holiday
Pajama/Book Drive. We collected 71 pairs of pajamas
and 20 books!
Your generous donations of new pajamas and books will help provide many children-in-need with a more nurturing, comfortable bedtime environment and brighter days to follow.
Your support of the Pajama Program is appreciated!
Lesli Friedman
Lesli, thank YOU for enabling us to participate in this activity of tikkun olam.

We Remember: A Home For The Holocaust Art of Robert Sutz
The Arizona Jewish Historical Society has launched a capital campaign to establish a permanent gallery for the artwork of Robert Sutz, whose award-winning work includes life masks, portraits, and recorded testimonies of Holocaust survivors, liberators, and righteous gentiles. (A portrait of Kehillah founding member Irma Gottlieb is among Sutz's work.) For information about the project or to make a donation or pledge,
