Israel Synagogue Project in Kfar Tapuach West
After the recent horrible terrorist attack in a Synagogue in Jerusalem, we decided to launch a project to strengthen specific synagogues located in strategic new communities throughout Israel. We have started this project with the synagogue in Kfar Tapuach West, a pioneering community in Israel.
January Update!
We have had an AMAZING Birthright season, hosting tons and tons of guests! Giving constant tours, classes and advice (beds, food, HEAT, and clean laundry) to so many that stuck around to see more of what Israel and Judaism have to offer. At the same time, we did not neglect our dear “lone soldiers” and our various projects to strengthen the Jewish Presence in the Land of Israel. Whether it was raining, snowing or sunny – we made every day count!
