Join us to mark Yom HaZikaron & Yom  Ha'atzmaut

We offer the opportunity for mourning and solidarity, healing and hope, with a series of sessions across a number of days. We are particularly honoured to welcome, from Israel, the renowned poet Rabbi Osnat Eldar, author of a deeply moving collection of work concerning 7th October. We're also delighted to offer a fun filled family party on the Sunday morning before.

Join us as we celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut with a fun-filled family party. featuring giant inflatables, games, craft activities and an Israeli style buffet. 

The event is open to all children aged 0 - 11 and takes place during Kehilatainu, so we especially invite the parents and siblings of our Kehilatainu children to come. Please note that there is no charge to attend. This event has been made possible by the generosity of NNLS members.

Our Yom Ha'atzmaut Family Party is during the Omer and has been designed to respect this alongside the need for children in our community to have the opportunity to celebrate Israel's Independence Day.
