Ethiopian Israelis: Stories of Resilience and Culture
A SPECIAL PRESENTATION AT TEMPLE AHAVAT ACHIM
SATURDAY, MAY 5th
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Combined Jewish Philanthropies' Boston-Haifa Connection is hosting a delegation of Ethiopian-Israelis from Haifa: Dege, Elias, and Oshra will share their personal journeys and their lives today as citizens of Israel. We will have the opportunity to learn about their experiences immigrating to Israel, the stories that reveal their resilience as both individuals and as a community, as well as their strong connection to their Ethiopian heritage and culture. The three guests are involved with the work that Boston is doing through CJP to support the community’s access to education and employment opportunities.
ENHANCED KIDDUSH TO FOLLOW. This is a FREE event sponsored by the Paulson Foundation.
Caregiver Support Session
Caregiving is something we do for loved ones and friends as needed, whether it be emotional, physical, or conversational help. When the needs become more intense, then more help or outside support for the primary caregiver might be called for. Those who are interested in learning more are invited to come to an informational "listening meeting" sponsored by TAA and SeniorCare services.
Temple and/or community members who are caregivers (or might be) are invited on Wednesday May 9th from 10:30-11:30 am, to the meeting at the Temple. Light refreshments will be provided. Please contact Audrey Fraser or Susan Doughty SW at 978.281.1750 x520 with any questions.

Eric and Cynthia Kaplan
Cynthia and I came to TAA 12 years ago when we moved part-time to Gloucester. TAA is a "Hamish" place and the Rabbi is a big part of why we enjoy it.
I am a retired pediatrician having practiced for 40 years in Lowell and Westford. We lived in Chelmsford and raised our two daughters there. My wife Cynthia loves plants and has worked at Cavicchio Greenhouses for many years. One of our daughters is a lawyer in Massachusetts and the other owns a scene design shop for off Broadway shows in Brooklyn, NY.
I enjoy the many opportunities to engage and help out at TAA. I have joined the kitchen "crew", the Torah study class, and am a regular at Shabbat services and Sunday minyan. Having been a board member at my previous shuls for 25 years, I hope to have something to offer the TAA board of directors.
