The Parents Circle Families Forum at Erev Shabbat Service
|
Friday, November 9th at 7:00 PM
Join us for our special Tikkun Olam speakers at our Erev Shabbat Service.
The Parents Circle Families Forum
is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 600 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict. Instead of choosing revenge, they have chosen a path of reconciliation. Join PCFF’s bereaved members, Robi Damelin and Mazen Faraj as they share their stories of loss and their unique choice of reconciliation. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and meet these courageous leaders in person. Free and open to the community.

Led by our very own Judy Gottfeld, we will be tuning in to the essence of Shabbat by engaging in a calm and restorative Tai Chi session. If you joined us for the High Holy Days, you may have already gotten a taste of Tai Chi on Yom Kippur day, which was immensely popular and an incredible way to spend part of the fast. If you missed out, don't pass up your chance for a free Tai Chi in a relaxed atmosphere! Please let us know if you plan to join us by RSVPing to
