We will collect Tzedakah boxes at the beginning of May.  The beneficiary is Seeds of Peace.  (See May newsletter for more details.)

v   Saturday, May 3, 10:00 am -- Shabbat Morning service followed by a light lunch.

v   Sunday, May 4, 10:00 am – Walk for Israel.
The walk starts at 10:00, but get there early enough to meet up with the Or Chadash gang at the sledding hill before the walk. Look for the Jewish Pride flag. Once again, Robin suggests that you register online before the walk. There will be thousands of people at McCormick Place and day of registration will be hectic. Stick around after the walk for music, food, and fun activities.  http://www.juf.org/walk/part_reg.aspx
