Structured Shabbat Program for children in

Kindergarten through 2nd grade

Thank you to the parents who stepped up to help us have a consistent

K-2nd grade group. The parent rotation will be on break during the summer months and will pick up again in August when the school year starts.

For any parents who are interested in joining the rotation for next year the commitment is only about 1 every 5 or 6 weeks and you are provided with all of the materials and instructions ahead of time. We are losing 3 of our 6 current volunteers and we are looking for  new volunteers to step up.
​​​​​​​
Thank you! 

                       Torah Challenge 2019
With Passover in the rearview mirror, and as we count up the days to Shavuot and the commemoration of receiving the Torah it is a time to reconnect with our holy texts as a community, as a family and as individuals. This year we are encouraging couples, parents and children, chevrusas or individuals to commit to learning a little extra in preparation for Shavuot.  

Here are three suggestions: 

1. The Book of Ruth with Dr. Yael Zeigler’s commentary available here:  https://www.etzion.org.il/en/topics/megillat-rut
2. Ethics of our Fathers (for anyone who needs a text we can provide you with one.)
3. זריעה ובנין בחינוך or in English Planting and Building in Education by Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe. Rabbi Neuman will be offering a weekly class on this small but very meaningful sefer (timing TBD). For those looking to purchase the text see here -  https://www.feldheim.com/planting-and-building-in-education.html

JEWISH WAR VETERANS CAPITOL POST 122

NEEDS COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Columbus, OH – Capitol Post 122 of the Jewish War Veterans (JWV), is the local chapter of Jewish War Veterans, a national Jewish non-profit organization dedicated to the service, support and recognition of all Jewish Veterans in Central Ohio. The Post is comprised of former Jewish Veterans residing in our community that elect to become members. The organization, functioning on the tireless efforts of past veteran volunteers, conducts activities throughout each year including Veteran’s Sabbath Weekend, color guard and representation in the Veterans Day and Independence Day Parades, funeral participation and flag presentation, Memorial Day services and gravestone flag and marker placement and most prominently by maintaining a wall of remembrance located at the Columbus Jewish Community Center. As the Jewish Veteran population continues to decline along with organization membership, JWV Capitol Post 122 is finding it more difficult to meet the expenses of their annual overall budget. With each passing year, Central Ohio loses former veterans. JWV memorializes each and every identified Jewish Veteran, member or not, with a brass placard that is installed on the wall of remembrance memorial wall at the JCC. The raw cost for an individual bronze placard is $45 and with a declining membership base and thus income, Capitol Post 122 needs community financial support to preserve the ability to perform these important services for our Jewish Veterans now and for perpetuity. JWV is asking for any and all community financial support in order to be able to continue their valuable community services and maintain and expand the memorial wall at the Jewish Community Center, the gravestone flag and marker placement each and every Memorial Day and the annual programming. To make a tax-deductible contribution to Capitol Post 122 JWV please send your check to Saul Laub, Post 122 Commander, at 1001 Parkview Blvd, #212, Columbus, OH 43219. For more information and further questions regarding Jewish War Veterans, please contact Post Commander Saul Laub or Past (United States) National Commander Herbert Greff at (614) 439-7047.
