Chanukat HaBayit/Schul/Sefer Torah
- Kibbutz Dovrat, (Schul) located close to Afula in the Jezreel Valley, Thursday 7-July, which is also the second day of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz.
- Kibbutz Gonen, (Schul & Sefer Torah) located on border of Lebanon, Syria in the Golan Heights also scheduled in July.
Both are secular Kibbutzim and neither had permanent Schuls or Sefrei Torah. Gonen had a small facility in its Kibbutz Hotel used for Rosh Hashanah (“RH”) and Yom Kippur (“YK”) services. G-d willing, both Kibbutzim will be beacons of light, a shining example for other kibbutzim to follow.

Finished the beautiful floor in the Schul at Kibbutz Sde Nehemiah.
That Schul was dedicated in memory of Tamar Ariel, A”H, the first religious female navigator in the Israeli Air Force, since the Chief of the Air Force Base where she had been stationed came from that Kibbutz, and the Kibbutz wanted to memorialize her.

Baruch Dayan HaEmet, Tziona Zuzoh A”H
Baruch Dayan HaEmet, Tziona Zuzoh A”H who lived on Kibbutz Gvulot for many years. Twenty-five years ago she did teshuva. From that moment on she dedicated and devoted her life to teaching the importance of Judaism, of having a Schul and of learning Torah. Over the past three years AH assisted Tziona by providing her a chavruta to continue her Jewish learn through the women’s’ chavruta project, and by providing minyanim on RH, and YK. Close to 1000 people attended her funeral. Even though there was a huge gap between Tziona A”H and the other kibbutzniks, many attended her funeral showing their appreciation for her, even donning kippot. She left a beautiful letter in which she wrote: “please send me as many ‘care packages’ as you can--lighting shabbas candles, and doing many other mitzvos. The letter ended expressing her great love for fellow Kibbutzniks. Her daughter Arava made teshuva at the age of 22 and is sitting shiva for her mother at the Kibbutz. May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim and may they know no more Tzar.
