Eizor Galil Newsletter 9/5/08

Shalom -

We are writing to you today with the answers to all of your questions. This is the moment you have all been waiting for (or at least the kids on this listserv)...read on to find out more:

1. Thank you to everyone who came out to the Art Museum for some intense rikud (Israeli Dancing), music, laughter, and an amazing view of the great city of Philadelphia. We truly appreciate the strong representation and I can assure you our Jewish community was aware of our presence and RUACH (Spirit/Energy). In total, we were about 40 people strong. Stay tuned for more rikud at the art museum to come.

2. Many of you have been asking about an Eizor Galil directory with all of the phone numbers, addresses, and e-mails of everyone in the Galil community. Well, it is in the works and as soon as it is finished, we will be sure to mail them out to each and every one of you.

3. As we are just starting our year, we are looking for a house, community center, or synagogue, preferably in the Cheltenham township, to host the annual Galil Merkaz where the staff is trained and receives the skills needed in order to be successful madrichim (counselors) in the Eizor. The space we are looking for should be able to fit about 20-30 people from Saturday night (after Shabbat) September 13th until mid to late afternoon on Sunday September 14th. If you or someone you know can help out with this, please e-mail rosheizor@gmail.com as soon as possible.

4. Fall Seminar Registration is now open. For those that are new to the Galil/Habonim Dror community, Fall Seminar is a weekend back at Camp Galil in the lovely rural town of Ottsville, PA. The weekend will be filled with the smell and songs of shabbat, rikud at the basketball court, and lots more....we have to keep some things a surprise. Please sign up by clicking on the link below.
