From a group of Intown families:
After the recent news of the 6 hostages, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a few fold have reached out, feeling a similar feeling. They find themselves feeling helpless and looking for a way to not only grieve together as a community, but to also honor these lives, their families, and pray for the safe return of all the hostages.

Avra Wacks, was inspired by Shai Davidai's IG post, to urge Jewish communities to come together and hold memorials across the country and pushed us to set this up. We’re happy to come together to celebrate joyous occasions and holidays but also for times of sorrow like today.

We'll say Mourner's Kaddish, sing some songs and light candles for the hostages. Please feel free to bring candles and all ages are welcome. Details attached and please feel free to share it. We'll hold the memorial tonight (Sept. 2nd @ 5:30pm) in Candler Park at the gazebo at the pin below.

When: Today, Monday Sep 2, 2024 ⋅ 5:30pm – 6:15pm (Eastern Time - New York)

✨This week’s class topic is:
Portal to Infinity - To Activate the Magic, You’ve Got to Follow the Recipe.

Well, actually, the answer is yes: deviating from the recipe will not bake the cake!

G-d Isn’t an Accountant-Why One Mitzvah Is Better than a Thousand Sins

“Live Free or Die” Is What G-d Wants
The Watershed Moment When Truly Choosing G-d Was Born.
It would seem that it’s a binary choice: doing what I want, or doing what G-d wants. But G-d’s ambivalent reply to the Jew’s request to send spies teaches us that if we work hard enough, we can get the best of both worlds.
