Events past and future
Israel Fest
By the time this issue of L’CHAYIM reaches your mailbox, we’ll all be full of falafel and hummus, thanks to Dalia and David Hemed and their culinary talents. You’ll have worn yourselves out from dancing to Third House Rising and, thanks to Marsha Kistler’s Israeli folk dancing expertise, with the Shalom Dancers. more 

February was a great month for our Youth Group. We kicked off the month playing chef for a day with host Dalia Hemed, our wonderful chef. We also met at the bowling alley again. This time, I decided to bowl with the kids and I was surprised to find out that I still had some skills. Everyone had a lot of fun. This was an activity that sparked the competitive side of some of the kids as well as my own. We had three teams, which we mixed up a few times to give the kids a chance to get to know each other better. more
