Supporting the US-Israel Relationship
in These Turbulent Times:
A Conversation with
Rabbi Sharon Sobel of AIPAC

August 12, 7:30 pm

We'll learn from Rabbi Sharon Sobel (Synagogue Initiative Director, New England at AIPAC) about AIPAC’s history and goals in the Israeli-American relationship. This is the second event in our series of programs in collaboration with Congregation Shalom (Chelmsford) and Temple Emanuel of the Merrimack Valley (Lowell) exploring American organizations of Jews concerned with Israeli affairs.
Teen Tour of Tel Aviv's Graffiti Scene!

High school teens are invited on a free virtual tour of the colorful graffiti scene of the hidden streets and alleys between Tel Aviv and Jaffa on Wednesday, August 12 at 6:30 pm.
 
It’s all there on the walls—visual dialogues on politics, temporary art, and Israeli society. Learn about the people behind the art and what are they trying to tell us—and why in the street? Teens will have a chance to create their own type of graffiti. The program is free and open to all. Invite your friends too!

Register for your Zoom link here or sign-up on LappinFoundation.org. For more information contact Sharon Wyner at 978.565.4450 or swyner@lappinfoundation.org.
