March 8th We'll be Hamentaschen baking at OZ and delivering mishloach manot to home bound members. Join us for this community service event, (which will also be a lot of fun).
April 5th We realized on poker night what an amazing place the Ethan Allen Club is. We are very lucky to be able to use it, and it has been sold, so we are going to make sure and really enjoy it while we can. We will be hanging out at the Ethan Allen Club where we will bowl, playy pool, cards, and perhaps watch a movie and just relax. We might also learn somethng about Birkat HaChamah, a Jewish holiday that occurs every 28 years, and will be this year on April 8th. It is supposed to celebrate the sun being in the same position it was during creation. Jewish groups this year are connection the holiday to Jewish environmentalism.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JOIN
YOUNG JUDAEA TODAY Together
with Ohavi Zedek, the national organization of Young Judaea underwrites our local
group. In fact, the national organization pays over one half of each leader's
compensation, with Ohavi Zedek picking up most of the other share of the costs.
Young
Judaea is not able to fund clubs that do not have 10 paid members for each age
group each year. In order to continue this arrangement of shared costs, we need
to have all our participants become members of Young Judaea for a yearly fee of
$30/year. Ohavi Zedek will cover this cost in the post Bar/Bat mitzvah year. The
money raised allows the group to continue to be funded here, and will let the
National organization see just how active a group we have. The money you give
also allows Hadassah, Young Judaea's National sponsor, to focus its support on
its hospitals and many programs in Israel and the US. Please
contact Miriam Sturgis for an application.
As always, scholarships are available upon request. Young
Judaea is sponsored by Ohavi Zedek Synagogue and by Hadassah
