This Shabbat, we respond with our greatest show of solidarity.
Jewish Federation, along with temples, shuls, and congregations throughout northern New Jersey, has decided to unite in solidarity.
This weekend will be Solidarity Shabbat and we encourage everyone in our community to attend Shabbat services.
It’s a call to action, a show of strength, and a force of unity. Stand and be counted. Let’s show those who wish us harm that we cannot and will not be deterred. By being at a Jewish service, we will send a powerful message of unity, support, and solidarity. This is how we build community and this is how we remember these eleven souls. An attack against one of us is an attack against all of us.
Let’s use this Shabbat as a way to strengthen and heal the community.
Let's fill the seats!

Congregations Rinat Yisrael and Beth Aaron Present the Acclaimed Film, "Ben Gurion, Epilogue", Winner of the Israeli Film and TV Academy Award for Best Documentary.
Sunday, October 14, 8:00pm,  Cong. Rinat Yisrael
Guest Speaker: Yefet Ozery, American Associates of Ben Gurion University.  The film brings to life a lost English language interview from one of modern Israel's greatest leaders, David Ben-Gurion. Along with being one of the key founders of the state of Israel, he was an idiosyncratic, playful iconoclast who believed big cities were not good for humanity, was taught to stand on his head by the legendary Moshe Feldenkrais, and hung out with RayCharles. Ben-Gurion's introspective soul-searching about lsrael's  role in history provides a surprising vision for crucial decisions Israel needs to make today. Admission is free.
