Israel B’Yachad

During these trying times, there are a number of initiatives we are starting for our Yachad members and in support of Yachad Israel chapter:

The OU has a letter writing campaign for IDF soldiers, there is a tehillim list circulating for Yachad friends and family that need our tefillot (Should anyone want to add names its yachad.org/tehillim), a Pizza 4 Soldiers program starting (stay tuned for more details), and more robust virtual programs to help our Yachad Israel friends cope and maintain some normalcy.

We encourage you to participate and attend as many of these programs as possible.

Request from Yachad Israel–Pizza 4 Soldiers Project

Support Our IDF Soldiers Now!
To our dear Yachad community,

Israel is currently facing a very challenging situation, with tens of thousands of IDF soldiers and reservists bravely confronting unprecedented challenges on the front lines. Showing our love and support can make a world of difference.

We invite you to join us in a small act of kindness. Your support can bring comfort and encouragement to these brave soldiers. Click here:
https://www.yachad.org/pizza4soldiers
to send some delicious pizza pies made and delivered to our heroes by our Yachad participants.

All proceeds from this initiative will go to Yachad Israel Programming, aimed at helping the families affected by the current situation.

Your partnership means the world to us,
Yachad Israel

Wednesday, December 26: “FriendsGiving @ Milky Way”
We love our new pre-Thanksgiving tradition! Eating dinner, playing games, discussions of gratitude– all help us get ready and excited for the holiday.

Wednesday, November 19: Giving Day “Fun-Raiser” at Mitchells
The best part of our annual campaign is the celebration together! As the fund-raiser came to a close, we joined together to enjoy ice cream, make last minute calls for support and make thank you cards and videos to those that had supported us. We also raffled off Yachad swag and prizes to thank everyone for their efforts, especially those who made donations, sold swag or who made a fundraising team!

The women of GO B’Yachad division launched a new year of programs with an art-inspired evening at the library! We enjoyed jewelry making and canvas stencil painting and are looking forward to the new year together!

Wednesday, October 22: Kickoff at Graeter’s
While a cold and gloomy evening may not be ideal for ice cream, it was a perfect night to re-launch our regular weekly programming! Thanks to everyone who joined — it was nice to meet new faces and get to know everyone a bit better with Ice-Breaker Bingo.

Sunday, September 21: Apple Picking at Eddy’s
What a beautiful day to pick fruit! This pre-Rosh Hashana tradition was so much fun with Yachad friends! The apples and grapes we picked will be sure to sweeten our holiday and our year ahead! Thanks to everyone who came out to Eddy’s and joined the fun.
