                          Shir Hadash Day of Family Service 

Yom Tikkun Olam

(Day to Repair the World)

Sunday, April 13, 2014

 9:15-9:45 Shir Hadash Community Kick Off with Rabbi Eitan

 Bagels and Coffee will be available for purchase

9:45 Activities Begin! See descriptions below. Some activities take place in the synagogue, and some will be at other community organizations (after the 9:15 kick-off). Please note: some activities will require minimal supplies be brought by participants.

This is not a day off from Religious School, but a day where school includes the wider Shir Hadash community and families and friends to offer and learn from a hands-on program.

We encourage families to choose one activity to do together.  We also encourage extended families and friends who may not be members to participate as well.  The cost of the program is $18 for each immediate family (for example, if grandparents are also attending, please register for two families for a total of $36).

Browse through the descriptions and simply RSVP by Monday, April 7 via this link:

Space for each activity may be limited.

In advance of Yom Tikkun Olam and after registration closes, you will receive a confirmation email with additional supply lists or instructions if necessary for your activity.
