As Rosh Hashana hurtles towards us, and another year draws to a close, it’s not hard to see that it’s been a pretty big year for us at the Aish Center.
We’ve worked hard to keep the our Center dynamic, contemporary and consistent in quality programming. Couples’ workshops, meditation classes, podcasts, film screenings, Yiddish classes, jazz nights, spelling bees, food tastings and evenings with some amazing speakers like Gerald Schroeder, The Lawfare Project’s Ben Ryberg, and the Shmita Project’s Yigal Deutscher – these are just a few examples of our programming of this past year. And wow — it’s been amazing!
But with the end of the year, comes our biggest event of all – our big move. We’ve been talking a lot about how the Aish Center will be changing, and the ways in which we hope to become even more dynamic and effective. We’ve been publicizing the launches of some of our upcoming new programs – Food For Thought, Urban Shmooze, and Wyze, and more great online content. Food For Thought launches this Thursday at the offices of Google – we’re expecting a really great crowd, and the launches of our other new programs will follow soon after.
We’re making great things happen, but as always, it takes two. So, in anticipation of both the Jewish New Year and all our big changes, we look to you guys for support. Whether you’re able to dig deep, or spare just a few dollars, we pledge to use your support to keep bringing you guys meaningful Jewish content, in the best way possible.
The easiest way to donate is via the Donate Button at our website – it’ll only take you a minute or two!
Wishing you all a happy and sweet New Year! And thank you all for your support :-)
