Movie Screening This Sunday

1/5/2023

0 Comments

 
THIS SUNDAY IS THE SCREENING OF J'ACCUSE
A CRY FROM THE DEATH PITS OF LITHUANIA
Efrat Gafni asked me to send information to everyone about a movie that will be screened this weekend at Ramat Zion, Sunday 1/8 at 4pm.
J'ACCUSE!
A CRY FROM THE DEATH PITS OF LITHUANIA 
 NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
The Lithuanian Jewish community was decimated in the Holocaust, when over 220,000 Jews, more than 95% of the Jewish population, were murdered. A key player in the massacre was Lithuanian nationalist Jonas Noreika, who today is revered as a national hero, and protected by the contemporary government’s official policy and infamous Lithuanian Genocide and Resistance Research Centre. In this galvanizing documentary, we follow the experiences of two dissident campaigners: Grant Gochin, whose family was murdered by Noreika; and Silvia Foti, a brave Lithuanian woman fighting for the truth, whose grandfather was Jonas Noreika. Together, the two push against Lithuania’s systemic Holocaust denial in an attempt to bring justice to victims and insist that the truth be told.
Here are some more links that shed light on the story -

Bring your old eyeglasses to the Hanukah Party

12/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello! and Apologies!
I know I JUST emailed everybody, but there's something very important I forgot to add!!

Mel Birken has been giving tours of the New Year's Day Parade floats for many years, and she's back at it this year! Did you know that?

One of the groups building a float is the Lion's Club. They have some amazing programs. One of them is providing eyeglasses and hearing aids worldwide! They acquire donated glasses, repair them, and travel to areas of need. They examine eyes and distribute needed glasses all at no charge! She has asked us to bring our old eyeglasses to donate to the Lion's Club. What a fantastic opportunity for us! I know I have many, many pairs of old glasses lying around.

So.... one wrapped present, one unwrapped item for the women's shelter, and old glasses.


I feel really good about this, donating to really good things and having a fun night. And dessert, of course.


​It's better to give than to receive!!!

Sisterhood Hanukah Party and Gift Exchange

12/12/2022

0 Comments

 
This Thursday the 15th is our annual Hanukah party and gift exchange!

We are doing things a little differently this year, so be sure to read this whole email and review the flyer! We are asking everyone to bring a new, unused, wrapped gift that will fit in a grocery store paper bag AND an item for a women's shelter. The flyer has a list of ideas for items needed at the shelter.

So..... one gift valued at $15-20 (no white elephants please)..... and one item for the women's shelter, not wrapped.
​

We will have Hanukah desserts, a raffle auction, and a "wishing well."
This is such a fun event, and this year we are focusing on the fact that "it's better to give than to receive"!!!​
