The Week of September 3, 2024 | 30 AV 5784

This week, our people are in mourning after the deaths of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alex Lobanov, and Ori Danino. They were held hostage for ten months and were murdered by their Hamas captors just days before possible liberation. Hersh and his family have deep, multi-generational ties to the Conservative/Masorti Movement, and to Camp Ramah Darom, where so many of our chaverim of all ages have had transformative Jewish experiences. We offer our prayers, comfort, and strength to Rachel, Jon, their family, and to the families of all those whose lives were taken this week, and since October 7th, as well as the families of those still being held hostage by Hamas. Their deaths are yet another of the tragedies that we have all experienced since October 7th during this war which has slowly morphed to multiple fronts. 


Join us for two opportunities of prayer, learning and reflection:

TODAY, Tuesday, September 3 at 6:00 PM: A special Mincha/Maariv where we will say Kaddish for the lives lost, with added readings. 

 

Shabbat morning Kiddush Lunch & Learn following services:

Shower Us with Healing and Resilience; Help Us to Rise Again

A special learning opportunity with Rabbi David Baum in memory of Hersh Goldberg

Polin and Fellow Hostages
