For ten months, the soccer field compound in Majdal Shams had been a singular oasis for Druze kids and teens — a haven no more. Our CEO reflects on 301 days of war, standing with the Druze, and meeting ongoing needs in Israel. #ShabbatShalom Read more: https://lnkd.in/dwV9i-nx

#ShabbatShalom from Camp Poyntelle! During the summer, we highlight how our camp partners celebrate Shabbat each week. Camp Poyntelle’s traditions include the entire camp wearing white for Shabbat dinner, a lakeside service full of singing, and Values Bracelets, which are given to those who display Jewish values throughout the week. That sounds like a perfect Shabbat to us!

The Hostages and Missing Familes Forum isn’t just a group — it’s a command center where families and volunteers work every day to bring their loved ones home. We visited Tel Aviv to see them in action, hear their stories, and continue to help support them in any way necessary. #BringThemHomeNow

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, the incomparable Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Her contributions to the New York Jewish community were marked by an enduring relationship with UJA and our nonprofit partners, including 11 years as president of the YM & YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood, our nonprofit partner. Beloved for her candor and pioneering work demystifying sexual health, Dr. Ruth became a global icon. In recent years, she was also an activist in the fight against the growing loneliness epidemic. An orphan of the Holocaust, Dr. Ruth was one of Israel’s first female soldiers, who fought and sustained injuries in the 1948 War of Independence. She celebrated her 95th birthday with us at the Celebrate Israel Parade in 2023. Small in stature but immense in heart, Dr. Ruth’s wisdom, wit, originality, and legacy will continue to inspire us all. May her memory be a blessing.
