ISRAEL @ OHEV
In recent months, among other types of support, the shul has highlighted the plight of the hostages in a variety of ways:
Fundraised and held a dessert kiddush using the favorite recipes of various hostages
Placed a permanently set table on display in the Social Hall
Placed a designated 'hostage' chair in the sukkah
Dedicated 20 seats in the sanctuary to 20 different hostages
Added 'Bring Them Home' signage around the building
We will continue to raise awareness for the hostages until they are all released. For more information and/or to volunteer with these efforts please contact Tirza Kramer at supertirza@gmail.com
