Chanukah 5766




A word from the Editor
Although the traditional soofganiyot (doughnuts) are filling the bakery windows here in Israel, the exceptionally warm weather these past few weeks makes it difficult to believe that Chanukah is almost here. We continue to pray for rain and hope that the Sea of Galilee will fill to capacity this year.

You can continue to show your support for the Masorti Movement around the world by registering for MERCAZ. This is a critical year to do so as the next World Zionist Congress will take place in June For more information see: http://www.masortiworld.org/about/mercaz.html  Our growth and development cannot take place without your personal help and commitment.

Join us in establishing and sustaining the option of Conservative/Masorti Judaism around the world. Contact us for more information about Bar/Bat Mitzvah projects, synagogue twinning possibilities, donations in honor or memory of loved ones and friends, and projects in need of funding. Write to: worldcouncil@masortiworld.org or mail@masoritolami.org

Please continue to write to us about your activities and send us pictures so we can post the news on our web site www.masortiworld.org and in our future monthly reports. If you know of others who would like to be included on our mailing list, please let us know. Our e-mail address is mail@masortiolami.org
We wish you all a Chag Chanukah Sameach—a joyous Chanukah!

Kol tuv,
Judy Dvorak Gray
