For more than two years, we’ve worn these symbols close to our hearts. Now, let them tell a larger story of our collective hope, resolve, resilience, and advocacy for generations to come.

If you still have hostage tags or pins, bring them to The Marion & Aaron Gural JCC so they can be collected and transformed into a public, commemorative art installation, created with Israeli artists Dede Bandaid and Nitzan Mintz.

This is what chesed looks like. In honor of Shavuot, members of the Mark Ramer Chesed Day program created silk flower bouquets with so much heart and care.

Each bouquet was made to bring beauty, warmth, and a sense of celebration to holocaust survivors at the Gural JCC. Simple gestures like these can mean so much, especially when they are rooted in kindness, memory, and community.

Our Community Garden is growing! A big thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who helped Garden Consultant Howard Taitz and Volunteer Team Leader Susan Sachs transfer plants and plant seeds. We were also so happy to welcome an enthusiastic group of ECC 3 year olds, whose excitement made the day even more special.

It was a beautiful afternoon of learning, planting, and community.
