This month there was Empty Bowls at Rodef Shalom in Oakland on the Sunday of our meeting which several of us went to. In case you don’t already know, Empty Bowls is an annual charity event highlighting the problems regular people have when feeding their families. Those who went thought that it was a great event and really enjoyed it. Afterwards, we met at the Agency for Jewish Learning for our actual meeting. Our meeting started off with an amazing guest speaker Evan Indianer who talked to us about the need for Jews to support other Jews through Jewish charity organizations. Next, we had a program by Lizzy Shackney and Emily Gorby about the need for people to accept LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender) people and teens. But this meeting was mainly focused on our rapidly approaching North American Seminar. Yes, that’s right; the Israelis are coming! Obviously, we are all extremely excited for meet our Israeli counterparts but also the things that we have planned are going to make it a great time. We ended out meeting with ma’agal in which we evaluated how the meeting went. Overall, it was a pretty good meeting.
P.S. During the North American Seminar the blog will be updated almost daily so keep checking and we’ll keep you posted!
