“The Challah Club”
At our monthly Challah Bake, “The Challah Club”, we had the good fortune of hearing from a young, 21 year old Israeli girl named Marley. She was born in the US and at a young age moved to Israel with her mother. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter Marley’s mother passed away. She had a challenged upbringing both socially and economically. As Marley described her future seemed bleak. Before being drafted in the army, Marley heard about the Alma Mechina program made possible through the Jewish Agency for Israel. Alma is a pre-military program for at-risk girls who come from economic and social periphery. It gives the girls an opportunity to develop themselves, hone their leadership skills and develop their love for Israel and a closer connection to their Jewish identity. By going through this program the girls have a much greater chance at receiving better positions in the army, which will affect their opportunities later in life as well.
It was so inspiring to hear from the beneficiary herself, of such a wonderful program, the Alma Mechina. Marley gained the self-confidence to believe in herself and uncover her innate capabilities and potential. It allowed her to not only apply for and receive a higher level placement in the Israel Defense Force (IDF), but to eventually become a commander of her group as well. Marley expressed that as a commander she was able to give to her unit the confidence, leadership skills, and belief in themselves that she received through Alma Mechina.
What touched me most about her story is the care and sense of responsibility that the Jewish People have for one another. There are myriads of programs created to help our fellow brethren. There are programs in Israel mostly funded from Jews around the world and there are programs set up in Israel to help and touch Jews living outside of Israel. A Jew is a Jew no matter where or which country we live in. I get so emotional thinking about how blessed we are to be part of such a special nation, Am Yisrael Chai

#ProjectGiving Yom Hashoah/Holocaust Memorial Day
It was a special night commemorating Yom Hashoah/Holocaust Memorial Day, specifically sharing my grandmother’s (Rose Gleitman) account of the Holocaust. Her story was heart wrenching, yet her strength so inspiring. Thank you to all those that donated monetarily, donated items and for coming out to package bags for needy women.

"Secret of Marriage"
Ruchi Koval shared with us the “Secret of Marriage” in her humorous and very down to earth way. She gave us 3 ground rules to feel and stay connected.
1. Choose intimacy over efficiency
2. Before you speak, think: will what I say bring us closer or farther apart.
3. “Give”, in their love language.
