11/6: New York Rabin Memorial Event




Join us in commemorating and honoring the life of Yitzhak Rabin at the Manhattan JCC for our New York Rabin Memorial Event. Together with our fellow youth movement, Hashomer Hatzair, we will be learning about the man and his values and how both relate to contemporary social movements.

At 4:00 there will be an exciting peulah (discussion activity) for kids dealing with the themes of democracy and social justice in the context of Rabin's life and death. At 6:00, there will be a tekes (ceremony) commemorating Rabin that is open to kids, parents, alumni, and anyone else interested.

RSVP as soon as possible! You can RSVP for the event by calling us at 818-915-4934 or emailing us at NYC@habonimdror.org!

10/24: Local Shabbat Dinners

On Friday, October 24, many of our families gathered at various locations throughout the NY-area to chit chat and chow down for our Local Shabbat Dinners ken event. It was a blast! With smiles abound, we started out reciting the brachot all together before indulging in some delicious home cooking. After we were done eating, the chanichim (kids) and the parents split off from one another, the chanichim participating in a peula (discussion activity) about Shabbat and community run by their madrichim (counselors), and the parents conversing with each other and some ma'apilim (more experienced madrichim) about the ken. All in all, it was a great way to spend some quality time together as one happy Na'aleh family.
