Yom Kippur Campaign
It’s been another busy month as we prepare for the high holidays. After 13 long years of constant personal contact, almost 80 kibbutzim await us. With your help, Ayelet Hashachar volunteers and staff are becoming a familiar sight in the midst of these secular Israeli communities.
 
Six new kehillot are waiting for a synagogue for regular use. We turn to you with a plea to help us now before the Chaggim. You can be a part of this great start.
 
 
 
 
 
   
         

Chavrutah Women’s 3-day Seminar a great Success!

  

Degania Aleph to hold Chanukat HaBayit

  

Chol Hamoed Succot Program at the Settlement Museum

300 women graced the Golden Towers Hotel in Ashkelon at our Annual Chavrutah Seminar. Three action-packed days included tens of speakers on topics such as scheduling, ideas and purpose. Interesting social workshops allowed participants to get to know one another and to recharge their spiritual batteries. The conference ended on a high with a trip to the resting place of the famed Tzaddik the Baba Sali ztzl.
 
 

Deganya Aleph, the mother of all kibbutzim is now at the point of moving it's Yom Kippur Minyan to the historic building which originally served as the lunchroom for the early pioneers. Today, it is beginning to feel the holiness of the land at last with the sound of tefilla eminating from these old walls.

 

 
 
 

Tuesday 20th August will see the Chanukat Habayis of the newly renovated Pioneer Museum’s old synagogue at Kibbutz Gevat. The original shul was built on Shabbos for the older immigrant parents and was sadly later used as a garage and a laundry. Its neighbor Kibbutz Yfat was Established in 1954 by former residents of the area of Gevat, it is l ocated in the Galilee in northern Israel a short distance from the cities of Afula and Nazareth.

Modiin Synagogue almost up and ready to go   New Sephardi Chief Rabbi HaRav Yitzchak Yosef addresses Tal El

With Yom Kippur approaching, we are overjoyed that our newly erected building in Modiin’s Kaiser neighborhood synagogue is up and ready. We pray to be able to hold our first Yom Tov minyan this year. We are pleased to enjoy a good relationship with Rabbi David Lau in his previous capacity as Rabbi of Modiin and wish him Mazal tov on his appointment as the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel.
 

A large crowd attended the recent meeting at Kibbutz Tal El for an inspiring evening held at the Tal El Yishuv in the Galil.  The newly appointed Sephardi Chief Rabbi Rabbi Yitchak Yosef graced us with his presence sharing words of wisdom and encouragement. We wish him Mazal tov in his new capacity. Many important dignitaries also attended this memorable event.
