Today's Shinshin
Though Israel's 70th is behind us and Dana and Maya have returned to begin their military service in Israel, synagogues in Middlesex and Monmouth counties who enjoyed Shinshinim programming are keeping it going with a new part-time shinshin for the heart of NJ. We welcome our new ambassador. Organizations interested in connecting their community members to Israel, contact us.
Connecting Kids with Israel
Shinshin, Dana, connected children across the Jewish heart of NJ with the human face of Israel.
A Few of Our Shinshinim's Hebrew Words of the Week
In Israel, we changed the clocks this week, which means Aviv is coming! The flowers are about to start blooming and the weather goes back to being sunny and great!
The Hebrew word of the week: Hoshev – think. We all think about Purim and in Israel, Purim is a very big holiday for everyone, especially for kids. Everyone dresses up in costumes and there is a big celebration!
Bayit – home. Maya and Dana are flying home today for mid-year break. See you soon!
Lehazmin – invite. In Israel, it is very common to invite friends over to your house for an afternoon. Hope you’ll invite a friend this week too!
Tzimhoni – which means Vegetarian. Did you know that there a lot of vegetarian restaurants and products in Israel? Now you do!
יום שישי means Friday! We wish you all Shabbat Shalom and enjoy your 'Yom Sheeshee!'
