POSTPONED DUE TO SNOW STORM NEW DATE: SUNDAY, JAN 14, 10 am
Since October 7th, tens of thousands of IDF soldiers and reservists have been on the front lines in Israel, facing unprecedented terror. They are fighting to preserve Israel, bring the hostages home, and eventually provide secure borders & peace. Join the Social Action/Social Justice committee on Sunday, Jan 14, 10 am and write letters of encouragement and care to these brave soldiers. Cards and sample verbiage will be provided. We will collect the cards and send them to the FIDF (Friends of the IDF) office in New York. They will send the cards to Israel, thus ensuring their safe delivery.
Do a mitzvah and shmooze with other members of the B'nai Tikvah community. For further information, please contact: Phyl Hewson or Linda Leland Social Action/Social Justice Co-Chairs

In the Community
We warmly invite you to join us on Wednesday, January 17, at 7 pm ET for "Israel, Antisemitism, and the Crisis in Education." Dive into a night of learning and insight with leading experts from the CAMERA Education Institute. This intellectually stimulating program, co-sponsored by Temple Emanuel, Congregation Shaarei Tefilah, Kehillat Israel, Temple Emunah, and the Lappin Foundation, is poised to expand public understanding and provoke thoughtful discussion.
Secure your spot by clicking here. Location: Temple Emanuel – 385 Ward St, Newton Centre, MA. All are welcome to attend this free program.
The portrayal of Israel as a colonizer and oppressor in K-12 and college classrooms is contributing to the rise of antisemitism. Recent polls highlight a concerning decline in sympathy among American youth towards Israel. Even Ivy League school presidents, when questioned by Congress, have hesitated to classify calls for the genocide of Jews as "harassment." In this critical moment, informed action is crucial.
Join us for an educational and interactive evening with experts from the CAMERA Education Institute. Together, let's explore strategies to counter these troubling trends.
