Sharing the story of Poland and Ukraine

I am deeply grateful to bear witness to the important stories coming from my mission to the JCC of Krakow in support of Poland and Ukraine and to bear witness.

Thank you to Rabbi Jeremy Weisblatt of Temple Ohav Shalom in Allison Park outside Pittsburgh and to Rabbi David Ackerman of Beth Am Israel of Penn Valley, PA outside Philadelphia for graciously opening your shuls to me.

 

Help us help them.  Please invite me to share this very Jewish and very human story with your community.

Shabbat Shalom

Teach your Children is a song that has always moved me with its special message.  The V’ahavta echoes inside my head as I hear the music play and the words reach out, sharing the message: we are in this together, to share our wisdom and make meaning of our life journey.

This is the Playing for Change Band onstage in Tel Aviv with the timeless song of Crosby Stills and Nash.

Shabbat Shalom

 

Why do these Kippot Cost so much?

Why do these kippot cost so much?

https://theradmal.com/kippah/

It is because we are trying to raise as much money as we can to help the victims of war.  We are not in the business of selling Kippot.

These kippot are unique and designed to represent the Sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine and a symbol of hope, in the Ukrainian national colors.  The Kippot are made in a fair trade arrangement with a Guatemalan Women’s cooperative; we want them compensated adequately.  Our goal is to get money to one of the influential NGOs in Poland, the JCC Krakow.

The JCC is dedicated to helping refugees in need, whether Jewish or not.  It is an extraordinary opportunity for the Jewish community of Poland to lead in a time of crisis.  It is likewise an extraordinary opportunity for the Jewish community of the United States to support the work.

Please help us with a generous donation and proudly wear a symbol of our humanity.  #standwithUkraine
