YOM HA’ATZMAUT PROGRAM AT YOUNG ISRAEL A GREAT SUCCESS

The Yom Hazikaron / Yom Ha’atzmaut Tefillah Chagigit at Young Israel this week was a great success, with over 150 attendees, and a very moving program, the highlight of which was the flag ceremony performed by our youngsters from Epstein Hebrew Academy.  We want to thank the individuals who helped make this program a success: Suzanne Sundy, Debbie Schuman, Debbie Simon, Ruthie Asher, and Uria Teperberg.  Special thanks to Eliana and Shani for their hard work on the daglanut, and the students of Epstein Hebrew Academy who stayed up very late to help inspire us all!  Thank you to Earl Newman, Shmuli Shulman, and David Markovitch for the musical entertainment.

Book the date for next year’s sequel!!
