Welcome to Colonel Nissim Hazan who is spending Shabbat in Newton and will be speaking on his experiences in combat this Friday night and Motzei Shabbat at Beth El. See briefings below for details.

Friday Night Oneg Featuring Guest Speaker Colonel Nissim Hazan and Food from the Cholent Cook-off: This Friday night, Jan. 10th at 7:30pm Colonel Nissim Hazan will be speaking followed by a cholent tasting from our cook-off. Colonel Hazan will begin speaking on his experiences in combat serving as an IDF co-commander for armored brigade 401 during operation Iron Swords in Gaza. The brigade was responsible for rooting out Hamas and terrorists from underground networks. Following his speech, we will have a chance to taste cholents made by our teams led by Kevin Brown, Shev Green and Eliana Vidan, Aaron Greenberg, Iris Grossman, Lauren Ruchelsman, Charlie Schwartz and Elyas Solooki. There will also be a kugel side-dish made by Alex Kangoun and Ross Zilber to clean the palate as we decide between different cholents. Attendees will have a chance to vote on their favorite cholent. The teams that get the most votes will be crowned the best cholent makers of the year! Thank you to James Wolfe for organizing this event. See flier.

Mazel tov to Karen and Neville Zar on the birth of a granddaughter. Mazel to parents Hannah and Jacob Wedgle. May they raise the newborn to Torah, Chuppah, and Ma’asim Tovim.
