We Stand with Israel – A Morning of Community Advocacy

We Stand with Israel – A Morning of Community Advocacy

Thank you to our Dayton Jewish Community for showing your support for Israel! We were so excited to see so many familiar faces as we joined together to sign letters to be sent to our congress members, and make cards for IDF soldiers and for our friends in the Partnership2Gether region. We also heard from four of our own community members who recently returned from volunteer trips to Israel. Thank you to Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz, Devorah Mangel, Amy Bloom, and Marci Vandersluis for sharing your inspiring stories!

Upcoming Briefing ~ Israel & the United States at War with Iran
Cathy Gardner

When I awoke on Saturday morning, I immediately saw on the news that Israel and the U.S. had launched an attack on Iran. We quickly shared a statement from Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) on our Facebook page. Later in the evening, we received notification from JFNA that they would hold a briefing the following day. Hopefully, many of you received our email notification with that information and were able to take part in the briefing. While normally we are able to share recordings from JFNA, they requested the recording of Sunday’s briefing not be posted or shared publicly....

Cabin Fever Relief
Cathy Gardner

It’s hard to believe that in just five weeks, Spring will officially be here. The weather over the past month has been, well, let’s just say, interesting. I’m a big fan of snow, but I know I’m probably an exception to the rule. Between the snow and bitter cold temperatures, I’m sure cabin fever has set in for some people. The good news is temperatures are finally in a much more acceptable range, and the snow is slowly melting. If you are ready to get out of the house, the JCC has two events coming up that may be of...

(Re)Building the Bridge
Cathy Gardner

Since 1970, February has also been known as Black History Month. It serves as a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history, while also recognizing their struggles for acceptance and equality. Sadly, the Black community still experiences prejudice to this very day. As Jewish people, we too have experienced our own struggles with acceptance and equality. It was not too long ago that Jewish people were banned from living in certain communities or belonging to certain clubs. The latter was even a part of the storyline of S3, EP15 of The Golden Girls. The episode,...
