The Jewish Heritage School at Congregation Habonim invites you to join them on Sunday, October 20th for their Pizza in the Hut Sukkot family celebration. There will be songs with Josh Skye Engel; activities including making edible sukkot and apple printing; and of course, pizza in the sukkah  

We are also very fortunate to have Rivka Campbell joining us as a special guest speaker. Rivka, a Jewish woman of Jamaican descent, seeks to build community among Jews of Colour (a pan-ethnic term for Jewish people whose family origins are from African, Asian, or Latin American countries) while opening dialogue about cultural and ethnic diversity. She has spoken at many synagogues as well as at Western University, Bialik, and the JCC, just to name a few. It is sure to be great for all ages!

Dear Habonim Members,

As we prepare for Passover this year, and our thoughts turn towards dark periods of human history and the meaning of liberation, we to invite you to be part of the Habonim Holocaust Project.

Habonim is embarking on a design project which will integrate stories of the Holocaust into the new building. We wish to gather personal histories from members and invite you to share your family’s Holocaust experiences with us. The stories will be woven into an illuminated artistic tapestry of Holocaust stories, which layers text with maps and fragmented Stars of David. This initiative speaks to an important part of our congregation’s history, Habonim was founded by Holocaust survivors in 1954.

If you need assistance to capture your family’s story in the written format below, please reach out to us, as we have a volunteer copywriter to assist.

We know these histories are precious and will only incorporate your narrative in the design with your written consent. All stories submitted will be included in the tapestry. Here’s a summary of the information we need and the format:

1. Identification: Please include names of those to whom the story/experience relates
2. Location: Please be as specific as possible
3. Submission Length: Narratives should be a maximum length of 250 words
4. Contact Information: Please include your name and email address
5. Please email your submission to:  susanliebel22@gmail.com

Please help us capture our history in art and architecture so that our stories will live on for generations.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Passover,

Eli Rubenstein

Religious Leader
