Shabbat shalom! The weekly walk in support of the hostages goes again this Sunday, day 359 and will continue every Sunday until all the hostages are home.
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!
Stay cool, safe and stay healthy.
