ISRAEL 2022 - TRIP UPDATE | |
|
FROM RENEE JOFFE, CONGREGATION KEHILLAH ADMINISTRATOR
"The bus was our home away from home and friendships were formed and bonded. Arie was our guide who was a walking man of knowledge. My eyes saw new sights, my tongue tasted new foods, my nose smelled delicious bakery, my
ears heard the voices of hundreds of women singing together on Shabbat at
the Kotel, my feet stood on ancient ground and walked miles. The list could
go on and on. Rabbi Bonnie was and is an extraordinary leader, clergy and most of all friend...there is no other Rabbi I would have wanted to share this experience with. I met new friends and took my friendships with others to a new level. I left behind a piece of my heart, but that space is now filled in with sweet memories of Israel."

JEWISH LIFE TELEVISION
JLTV is the largest 24-7 English-language, Jewish-themed network in North America, available in about 50 million homes, currently through Charter, Comcast, DirecTV (channel 366 in the Phoenix area) and other video providers (www.jltv.tv). On May 31st, JLTV was added to Cox Communications’ Channel Line-Up in portions of Greater Phoenix channel 184. This is partly thanks to Rabbi Sharfman who has been incredibly supportive of the effort to add JLTV to Cox's line-up, sending a letter to Cox asking them to add JLTV, which they are now doing.

Remember "Mom" and the other women!
Reminder: There are hungry neighbors and families experiencing food insecurity throughout the Valley, throughout the year -- even if we can't always see it. And there are women who can't afford basic feminine products. Our food collection bin for Mom's Pantry is always in our lobby, and our Kehillah Cares bag for women4women tempe is in our ladies' room.
Please bring food and toiletry donations whenever you attend an event or services.
******************
We love hearing from you!
