Haiti Fundraiser Success

The Habonim for Haiti ken was a great success! 19 people showed up and we raised $300! The money is being donated to the American Jewish World Service (AJWS), a Jewish organization that works to help developing countries and has had relations with Haiti since before the earthquake. We had a great peulah where we discussed our responsibility as Jews and as Habonim Dror to help the people of Haiti as best we can. After the peulah we had a wonderful musicale/medurah where we sang songs and performed acts.

Na'aleh Hits the Ice

On December 20th, Ken Na'aleh went ice skating in Bryant Park!

Chanichim were joined by a chunk of Na'aleh tzevet for some slippery fun on a freezing/beautiful day.
Well skated everyone, thanks for braving the cold.

The second ever Ken Boston event!

Hey everyone! Hope your passover was meaningful and fun.

After a very successful Shabbat dinner two weeks ago, our Bostonian affiliate is taking the next step and having its second-ever Ken event on Sunday, 4.26: a Boston Tea Party at the Boston Common! In that sunny afternoon, we will explore our history and dig in more into this new community we create, which is the Boston Ken. It starts at 2pm, and we will finish by around 4pm. The drop-off and pick-up point is the crossing of Tremont street and Park street, right by the T station. Light snacks (and tea!) will be served. You can find more about it on our Facebook event page, or call me for any question at 646-509-4961.


And for the New Yorkers among us, get ready for our fancy Shabbat dinner next Friday! On May the 1st, at 6pm, the Radwells will kindly host us for a traditionally-Na'aleh Shabbat celebration, followed by a potluck dinner, followed by a Peulah. The address is 20 Plaza Street, Brooklyn, 11238, and all the details are on their way to your email inboxes.

All costumes were great, but you have to admire those Habo-Tubbies!

Bowling-Purim party this Sunday

Hi everyone

This Sunday, 3.8, our Ken event will be the unprecedented Na'aleh's super-awesome-fun Purim bowling party! It'll be held between 3pm to 5pm, at the Leisuretime Bowl on 625 8th avenue, between W40th and W41st streets. Counselors will be picking up kids from the exit of Port Authority bus terminal and subway station at 8th avenue and W42nd street and will walk with them to the bowling place. The party is 15$ per child, and it includes everything - admission to the bowling place, shoes rental and snacks. If you have two or more siblings coming, or you need financial aid, let us know and we might be able to give you a discount. And most important - costumes are mandatory!

So we hope to see everyone with us.

By the way - the Tu Bishvat Seder we had was great. Thanks for everyone who participated and/or helped (thanks Nina!).
