| ISRAELI SCOUTS (TZOFIM) FRIENDSHIP CARAVAN CONCERT FRIDAY, JULY 28, 5:30 PM • SANDLER FAMILY CAMPUS Head to the JCC for an early evening community concert filled with song and dance. The Israeli Tzofim Friendship Caravan brings excitement, energy, and friendship to Tidewater with its live performance. In Israel, there are 200 different "Tribes" of scouts. During their time as Tzofim, the scouts learn valuable leadership and life skills, which go on to help them with their IDF placement, as well as with careers later in life. A friendly rivalry between Tribes is common; a handful of the most talented singers and dancers from all the Tzofim are selected to travel across America. The Caravan’s celebration of Israeli culture is FREE and resounds with all ages. For more information and to register, visit JewishVA.org/Caravan or contact Dave Flagler at DFlagler@UJFT.org. |

| JOIN A MOON CIRCLE THURSDAY, JULY 20, 6:45 PM • SANDLER FAMILY CAMPUS We invite you into a tradition that spans thousands of years; a monthly holiday known as Rosh Chodesh, meaning "head of the month." In the Jewish tradition, each month begins with a new moon, and the Hebrew calendar is the way the Jewish people have kept time for millennia. This gathering is a time to connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and the sacred flow of the Hebrew calendar. For the past few centuries, Rosh Chodesh has been one of Judaism's best-kept secrets. We're breathing new life into it by coming together for self-reflection and rituals that will help us connect with this ancient legacy, learn from Jewish wisdom and embrace the unique spiritual energy of each month. The Monthly Moon Circle is presented by Konikoff Center for Learning. Attending the event is free, however a $7 donation is suggested. Sign up HERE to attend. |
