Shabbat Shalom!
With the end of the first phase of the ceasefire, it is imperative that we continue to support the remaining hostages until they are all home. The weekly walk in support of the hostages continues this Sunday, March 9. Meet at 1 pm at Pearl St. and 8th.
Here is Morah Yehudis‘ take on this week’s Torah portion.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country. Am Yisrael Chai!
