Together we can support Israel. We can make a difference. Watch this powerful music video of "Bring Them Home", performed by Broadway stars, prepared in tribute to the 240 plus hostages abducted from Israel on October 7, 2023 (please CLICK HERE - have tissues at the ready).
Please stand with Israel in their time of dire need. We recommend donating directly to the Jewish National Fund or the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County or the Magen David Adom, Israel's version of 'Red Cross'. These organizations have special funds ear-marked to assist those in need in Israel with food, supplies, medical care, relocation, and more. Please help if you can. Wishing for peace and shalom.

We welcome one and all to be together with us virtually and to enjoy the beautiful and moving words, messages, and music of Rabbi Barry Silver and Cantor Carol Garrett, who are there for us no matter what! Rabbi Barry will also share the Torah reading and his insight with us. We hope you will stay on following for some Schmoozing time!

WANT TO DO YOUR PART FOR CLIMATE CHANGE?
ADOPT A PLANT-RICH DIET!
Shifting to an eating pattern rich in plants and low in animal-based foods reduces global warming and chronic disease—which means it’s good for you AND good for the planet. Reducing global demand for meat and dairy can save a huge amount of energy, water, land and other resources! Do your part in saving our planet.
