Join our campaign to send 180 trauma kits to forces on the ground in Israel.
Each trauma kit is $360. How many kits can you help us send?
All contributions matter, regardless of the size.

Join us for How Did We Get Here: The Context of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Belle Chapel on Tuesday, November 14 @ 7 p.m., with Rabbi Jonathan Aaron and historian guest Dror Yaron.
There is so much information and disinformation online about the war in Israel that makes it difficult to understand the context and history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We want to provide an evening where we can offer an historical perspective to the events of the last three weeks, so that you may acquire facts and information that will be helpful when talking to others about the situation in Israel. Please join us for this much-needed session – where you will have an opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insight.

Join Rabbi Liora Alban for Mixed Media Midrash For Israel at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 16 in our foyer, for a brief text study and art creation, using a range of creative materials. This will be a moment to reflect on the past few weeks and to use art as a creative way of processing.
