To say this past week was busy would be an understatement! We enjoyed a powerful Tisha B’Av with special guest speaker Ariel Berkowitz. Our weekly learning continues to grow, and we’re even hard at work for a Cholent Cook-off this weekend with the Akiva Experience! Check it all out in This Week in Pictures.
This week, on Tisha B’Av, we had the privilege of hosting a remarkable guest speaker, Ariel Berkowitz. At just 19 years old, Ariel survived a devastating train accident that tragically resulted in the loss of both of his legs. He came to share his incredible journey, marked by profound challenges, resilience, and miraculous moments along the way.
Did you know that our women’s learning groups meet just as often as the men’s? Under the leadership of our Women’s Experience Director, Gila Ross, there are numerous opportunities to engage in enriching Jewish education. Plus, there are usually some delicious treats to enjoy while you’re there! If you’d like to learn more about Gila’s classes, feel free to reach out to her via email.
And this weekend – the Akiva Experience team celebrates their Shabbat together to gear up for the main event at the Kiddush Cup! This weekend? It’s a Cholent-off! Whose Cholent will reign supreme? This Cholent Battle is between Rabbi Raphael Leban and Larry Fagen. We will report back following Shabbos!
