Double Your Donation with a Corporate Match
Did you know that only about 1 in 10 eligible donors match their donations with corporate matching?
Every year, about $6 to $10 billion of matched donations are left unclaimed. Since many companies may match up to $10,000 for every donation, the revenue adds up quickly. Double your impact today!
For more information, contact Karen Baskind at karenb@hillelsv.org

Mentor a Student
We are looking for members of the community to help mentor our students - in career advice, for tutoring, and other fields. If you have networking opportunities; or are skilled in math, science, programming, engineering, writing, creating cover letters, or building resumes, please contact Ben at benblechman@hillelsv.org.

Ruach Dances at Etz Chayim
(New! Held Monthly)
Experience Insight and Joy through Simple Free-form Meditative Movement to Inspiring Music
Saturday, June 2, 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Saturday, July 7, 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Saturday, August 11, 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Experience the Divine shefa (flow) within your whole being through free-form meditative movement/ecstatic dance, guided by kavannah (intention) that draws on Jewish texts and ideas. Our open floor provides a safe, non-judgmental/non-performance environment, free of conversation, allowing you to explore free-form meditative movement set to carefully-selected music. Start the new week connecting to that "still small voice" inside, getting more exercise in a fun way, and meeting new people!
Free and open to all
(need not be an Etz Chayim member to participate). No dance experience needed (no required "dance steps"); if you can walk, move your arms, or simply breathe and "dance from your chair," you can enjoy our Ruach Dance. Set your own pace and boundaries: dance solely by yourself, or, with others if you choose. Please eat a light supper before, wear comfortable clothing that's easy to move in, and bring your water bottle. Optional: yoga mat and vegetarian snacks to share after
Questions? Call Gail Slocum (415) 515-2892; Text Gail your email to get on Ruach Evite/reminders list
Etz Chayim | 4161 Alma Street | Palo Alto 94306 | www.etzchayim.org
