Youth Education and Programming--We want to know the needs of YOUR family.
The Youth Education and Programming Task Group is ready to start working. As we have learned from the strategic planning process--our decisions and recommendations should be based on data collected from the congregation.
We have heard from only 9 of the roughly 30 Beth David families with children ages 0-18! Let your voices and your ideas be heard! We really need your input in order to make valid recommendations to the congregation.
Please fill out this survey (https://forms.gle/Hepc7bcZbZZwqSrh8) so that there will be accurate and up-to-date data for the task group to analyze.
If you would like to be on the Task Group that analyzes the results of the surveys, you can indicate that in one of the survey answers. For questions or concerns, please contact Galya Greenberg at <planning@bethdavidwh.org>

From the Beth David Inbox -
From Elisha and Anat Rosenzweig
"As you can imagine, things here in Israel are challenging, but B"H we are doing fine, and Gd willing we will get out of this soon, and stronger for it.
anted to share that I've started to record a "war diary" of the Israel-Hamas war that is taking place these days around us, tracking how things evolve from our perspective. The point is to give people - especially those who are not Israeli, but want to gain a sense of how things are here, "on the ground" - a sense of what it feels like, as well as what are the personal, political and strategic forces at work. I'm not a reporter or an expert in anything related to this war. Just an informed citizen of the State of Israel, who has lived in this tiny country in the Middle East most of his life and so has (hopefully) a broad context within which to help place these events. So far I've done two episodes. I'll be trying to do these in a semi-daily manner." Click here for Elisha's updates, and save the link.
Feel free to not only watch but also share with those you think would find this meaningful.
Hope to see you soon, in quieter times, Elisha Rosenzweig and Family
