JFAR Weekly Update from the Office

5 April 2019

What's Happened

Check out the artists and craftspeople who have signed up to participate in this year's Jewish Food and Cultural Festival. That's in addition to the gift shops of Congregation Agudath Achim, Congregation B'nai Israel, and Temple Shalom.

Thanks to all who attended the talk by Holocaust Survivor Louise Lawrence-Israëls. One fact to be proud of, which we learned from Ms. Lawrence-Israëls: the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum gets more requests from Arkansas for Holocaust speakers than from almost any other state.

All Passover seders, services, and other events that have been announced in newsletters and online by Arkansas congregations and Jewish organizations have been added to JFAR's calendar. If you don't see your Passover event there, please let me know.

Thank you to Congregation Agudath Achim, Congregation B'nai Israel, and Lubavitch of Arkansas for agreeing to partner again with JFAR for the community Yom Hashoah ceremony, which will be held May 1st at 7:00 pm at Congregation B'nai Israel. More information to follow.
