This Shabbat, we begin at 6pm by commemorating Yom Hazikaron - Israel’s Memorial Day. As the first memorial day since October 7, we will mark the lives lost on that day with special prayers, and will write notes to the families of the remaining hostages. 

Following, we will bring in Shabbat and observe Yom Haatzmaut - Israeli Independence Day with some Israeli and Shabbat music. Then, plan to stay for a Middle Eastern and Israeli food feast catered by Aladdin.
