JANUARY 19, 3:30PM-5PM 
SHABBAT AFTERNOON TISH

Anat Hoffman, Executive Director 
of Jerusalem's IRAC (Israel Religious Action Center) 
will be with us via Skype.  
  • LOVING ISRAEL BY TRYING TO MAKE HER BETTER

On Shabbat afternoon, January 19, at 3:30pm, we have the privilege to be in conversation with one of the most courageous and devoted women in Israel.  Anat Hoffman, the Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center, devotes her life to religious freedom, to Jewish freedom, in Israel.  PLEASE, PLEASE watch the video below.  

Come to our January 19, 3:30pm, Rabbi's Tisch and hear how we can make a difference.  WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND WE HAVE A SACRED DUTY TO TRY.  Our Sages have taught: "Lo alecha hamlacha ligmor, v'lo atah ben chorin lehibatel mimena" - "It is not your duty to complete the work; yet neither are you free to desist from it."

For every passionate lover of Israel, for every Jew who cares deeply that our people's most sacred and symbolic place, the Kotel/Western Wall, is open to all Jews, please, please join us for this conversation.  Anat will be in Jerusalem and she will join us via Skype.  This is a privilege and an honor for Temple Beth-El.  

Please take less than 5 minutes to watch the video about The Women of the Wall.  Our prayer is that this video will generate many units of love and a dose of inspiration -- inspiration that will move us to assert ourselves, to fulfill our duty, to do our part of the work.  "It is not our duty to complete the work; yet neither are we free to desist from it.  


Many thanks and happy new year!

NOVEMBER 17, 
4PM-5:30PM


RABBI'S  SHABBAT 

AFTERNOON TISCH 





Israel, the Galilee, is coming to Great Neck.  Are there any idealists left in Israel?  Are there any young Israelis committed, determined to fulfill the ideals and values of the founding giants of Modern Zionism?  YES!

Meet Gilad Perry, Kibbutz Eshbal and Dror Israel, the Educator's Kibbutz Movement.  With his love of people, his passion for Israel and the founding Zionist vision, and with the music of his soul and guitar, we will be blessed to spend Shabbat afternoon with Gilad Perry.

The black hat chasidic world meets the best of the snobby academy meets the sacred vision of Jewish and Palestinian families coming together.  There's nothing like the "Shabbat tisch" that Yakir grew up with.  With his violin-playing, story-telling, melodies and profound insights into Torah and Israel, Dr. Englander (of Hebrew University and Northwestern University) will take us on a journey through Israel that is sure to dazzle us all.
