Thanks to the initiative of our member Helen Friedman, we are once again able to participate in efforts to thank lone soldiers for their service here in Jerusalem -- this time by preparing for them a Thanksgiving meal. If you would to volunteer - in particular, we are still looking for people to provide apple pie, cranberry sauce, wine, decorated cards and notes (maybe from your kids or grandchildren), or funds to cover the cost of Turkey - please be in touch with Helen at HPFreedman@aol.com.

For this week, Peta Pellach will be teaching on Thursday at 10 AM.
