As we observe Yom HaShoah, also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pay tribute to the 6,000,000 individuals who were tragically and unjustly killed solely because of their Jewish identity. By preserving their narratives, we actively combat all forms of hatred and prejudice. Let their bravery and resilience serve as a catalyst for us to strive towards a future where discrimination and persecution no longer exist.

On this Art Day, we honor Nelly Toll, a survivor of the Holocaust who found solace in writing, painting, and creativity during her time in hiding. Her vivid watercolors and writings have captured the spirit and resilience of those who suffered during the Holocaust. Her legacy as an artist and teacher continues to inspire and educate others.

Dr. Toll's dedication to social justice and the eradication of anti-Semitism serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against hate and bigotry in all its forms. Let us honor her memory and continue her legacy by promoting empathy, understanding, and compassion.

Happy end of Passover!

Shoshana Damari, the legendary "Queen of Hebrew Music," captivated audiences with her powerful voice and soulful renditions.

Born in Yemen in 1923, her family fled persecution and settled in Rishon le-Zion, where she began her career as a young singer on Kol Yerushalayim radio. She quickly gained recognition for her talent, and her signature tune, "Kalaniyot", became an instant classic. With her unique voice and heartfelt performances, Damari left an indelible mark on Israeli music and culture that continues to inspire generations.

Wishing you a joyous and meaningful Pesach! May this holiday be a time of renewal, reflection, and gratitude. As we celebrate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, let us also remember the importance of freedom, justice, and compassion in our lives and communities. May we all be blessed with peace, love, and connection during this special time. Chag Pesach Sameach!

On this day in 1970, Bella Abzug was elected to the United States House of Representatives, running on a feminist, anti-war, and environmentalist platform. She became the second Jewish woman to be elected to Congress, and her dedication to fighting for social and economic justice quickly earned her a reputation as a nationally renowned legislator.

Here are some interesting tidbits you might not know about the essential, delicious traditional bread called Challah:

🥖 The word challah in the Torah first occurs when G‑d describes to the Jewish people what life will be like for them in the Land of Israel:
🥖 Two loaves of bread on Shabbat and holiday tables represents the double portion of manna with which G‑d fed the Jewish people as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years after leaving Egypt.
🥖 Not all challah loaves are the same. Many Sephardi Jews bake simple loaves of “water” challah, containing no eggs, sugar or other sweeteners.
🥖 When the ancient Temple stood in Jerusalem, 12 challahs were displayed on a gleaming golden table, opposite the golden menorah. These were changed weekly and represented each of the 12 tribes of Israel who together formed one whole: the Jewish people.

Meet Leiba Rudolph, a Woman of Valor who reflects on her life and her decision to become observant in the Jewish faith. She describes how she was always troubled by the arbitrariness of life and was obsessed with finding a deeper truth that could transcend one's life circumstances. In 1987, she and her husband attended a Chabad Shabbaton with Rabbi Sholom Lipskar, which led them to become observant in the Jewish faith. Leiba sees this decision as a tremendous merit and as an opportunity to bring Moshiach the ultimate happy ending in her lifetime.

At the event last week, we had the delightful opportunity to honor Melanie Kelfer, an extraordinary woman and the visionary behind Operation Mordechai.

Operation Mordechai was initiated as a time-sensitive mission to cater to the urgent humanitarian needs of refugees who had fled Ukraine to safer locations. Melanie and her team provide refugees and their supporters with various essentials, including medical supplies, food, clothing, hygiene products, children and baby items, school supplies, and shelter assistance.

Besides her philanthropic pursuits, Melanie is also the founder of IBC, Ltd, a company specializing in buying and selling new excess and used computer parts and systems. Additionally, she previously served on the Board of Directors of For the Love of Life, a wish-granting charity for individuals affected by AIDS.

Thank you, Melanie! We appreciate all that you do for those in need.

Introducing Gabrielle Edwards, President of Mixology and one of the hosts of our upcoming event, 'From Chanel to Shabbat'. With an impressive career journey, Gabrielle started from the sales floor and climbed up the ranks to become a leader in retail management, overseeing buying and creative teams before assuming the role of Mixology's President. She's an exceptional person, and we're thrilled to have her as one of our hosts today.

Rachie Schnay, the owner of Rachie Schnay Jewelry, has always been surrounded by jewels and watched how her mother ran her own successful jewelry company for twenty years. Over the past few years, the market has become inflated and expensive, making it inaccessible for many. Rachie was inspired by the 'Warby Parker' approach and decided to create a line of fine jewelry that is gorgeous, fun, timeless, rich, colorful, chic, relatable, sparkly and most of all accessible to everyone!

Her collections are full of love, meaning, and passion. As a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Rachie wanted to create a collection that embodies her Jewish identity and embraces her heritage.

We look forward to being with her tonight at the From Chanel to Shabbat event!
