Dear
friends of Kehillat YOZMA, Shalom!
Her
ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace
ãøëéä ãøëé ðåòí åëì ðúéáåúéä ùìåí
On
this eve of the New Year 5767, I am pleased to share some
exciting news with you.
Kehillat
YOZMA’s own Rabbi Kinneret Shiryon will be honored this
November with an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from
the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion
(HUC-JIR). Rabbi Shiryon is receiving the Doctor of Divinity
degree, honoris causa, in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of her rabbinic ordination.
We
at Kehillat YOZMA could not be more proud of Rabbi Shiryon’s
inspiring and tireless work in creating a thriving, successful
Progressive Jewish community here in Modi’in, Israel.
Rabbi Shiryon’s vision and determination nearly ten years
ago, combined with her continued charismatic leadership
and unflagging optimism, are responsible for YOZMA’s creation
and continued growth.
In
honor of Rabbi Shiryon’s receiving this prestigious recognition
of her important work, we invite you to join us
in honoring her by making a donation to YOZMA
and thereby help further Rabbi Shiryon’s dream.
You may
visit our website at http://yozma.org.il
for more information on supporting YOZMA. We have added
the option to donate directly on-line. You may also send
your earmarked donation through the WUPJ.
For
those of you planning a visit to Israel, the local YOZMA
community will be hosting a special gala event in Modi’in
to honor Kinneret on Motzei Shabbat, November 11th and
we would be thrilled if you could join us!
We
thank you in advance for your support of Rabbi Shiryon,
her lifework and Kehillat YOZMA.

With best wishes for happy, healthy and peaceful
New Year!
