SUMMARY:How a Jewish Initiative Started in the Slums of Mumbai
DESCRIPTION:Following Arvit\, join Jacob Sztokman\, founder of the Gabriel Project Mumbai\, to be moved by the Jewishly-inspired work his organization is doing to support some of the world’s most vulnerable families in the slums and underserved villages in India. Jacob will share his journey from high-tech executive to founding a development NGO in India that partners with Kivunim\, JDC\, JFNA\, Nativ\, Young Judaea\, Chabad\, and others.  \nJoin Us on Zoom\nJacob Sztokman is a hi-tech executive turned social-entrepreneur. On a visit to Mumbai in 2011\, Jacob toured the city’s slums and was deeply moved to work on the issues of poverty and illiteracy among the children of India. Troubled by what he saw and motivated to help make a difference\, Jacob consulted with grassroots Indian NGOs and created a holistic model of community development combining urban and rural underserved communities in India. The community led initiatives focus on education\, nutrition\, hygiene\, water health care\, and livelihood.  \nJacob was born in Melbourne\, Australia\, and immigrated to Israel in 1993. Jacob’s professional life has been in the world of sales and marketing in Israel. Jacob has a Masters degree in community development  from  Hebrew University\, and is on track to complete his Masters in nonprofit management from Gratz University. Jacob brings to Gabriel Project Mumbai a unique combination of management experience and deep commitment to social justice. He is driven by the fundamental belief that we must take responsibility to help alleviate human suffering around the world. He and his wife\, Elana\, live in Israel with their four children and two newly minted grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Reach for Shabbat 2021
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Reach for Shabbat Retreat is October 22-24\, 2021 at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center. We are so excited that Shemita is the focus of our Reach for Shabbat weekend (and one of the themes of our B’nai Jeshurun community for the year)! What’s Shemita (she-meeta) you ask?! Just as God rested on the seventh day of creation and we rest on the seventh day of every week (Shabbat!)\, so too the land is supposed to rest every seven years (Shemita)! Still to this day in Israel during a Shemita year\, farmers give their land a break. In the time of the Torah\, Shemita was an equalizer\, debts were forgiven\, the corners of every field were left as food for those in need\, and resources were redistributed and made accessible to all. Join us to learn more about this incredible year ahead and how Shemita can act as an inspiration for all of us and our families today!  \nThe retreat is a part of the Kadima@BJ curriculum. Registered Gimmel (3rd grade)\, Dalet (4th grade)\, Hey (5th grade)\, and Vav (6th grade) Kadima@BJ families have one student and one parent’s attendance included in their tuition. Children will not be permitted to attend without an adult. Additional guests are welcome for an additional fee.  \nRegister Now\nThe deadline to register is Friday\, October 8.  \n  \nQ&A\nWhat are our Covid Protocols for this retreat? \nThis plan has been formulated based on guidelines from the CDC\, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)\, and our peer programs\, building upon BJ’s Re-entry Task Force August report and campus operations plan. These guidelines are based on the conditions on the ground today. As such\, they are subject to change if conditions change. \nAll participants 12 years and older will be required to submit proof they are fully vaccinated (two weeks after JJ shot or second Pfizer or Moderna shot) before participating in-person programming. No exceptions.  \nAll unvaccinated participants will sit at least 6 feet apart for programming indoors. \nEveryone two and above to be masked the entire time\, unless outside and spaced 6 feet apart. \nAll participants\, whether vaccinated or not\, must provide proof of negative PCR test results within 3 days of arrival at Isabella Freedman for the retreat. \nAll of our programming and meals will take place outside\, in tents\, with heaters. We encourage all families to bring warm clothing to help balance this (the temperature at this time of year at Isabella Freedman is usually 61/37). \nAll programs and services will happen outside or in heated tents. Isabella Freedman asks that all participants wear masks when entering any buildings. \n  \nWhen do we arrive? \nWe have the amazing blessing of spending an entire Shabbat together. In order to enhance that experience\, participants must arrive before Shabbat.  \nRetreat arrival begins at 2:30PM on Friday\, October 22\, and Shabbat and programming begins at 5:43 PM with Candle Lighting. Please give yourself enough time to arrive\, check into your rooms\, unload your bags and park your car prior to Candle Lighting. In order to arrive by 5:43 PM\, assuming no traffic\, you should leave the Upper West Side no later than 3:30PM. Cars will not be permitted to drive through camp after Shabbat begins. The retreat concludes on Sunday\, October 24 at 10:00AM. \n  \nWhere do we sleep? \nEach family will have their own room with enough sleeping locations as family members\, and their own family bathroom. For this retreat\, no families will share bathrooms. \n  \nWhat staff will be coming?  \noin the entire Family Life and Learning Team at Reach for Shabbat! This includes Rabbi Rebecca Weintraub\, Michael Harlow\, Michael Witman\, Rachel Barnehama\, Laura Schultze\, Tobie Franklin\, Danielle Freedman\, Julie Schwartz\, Elyssa Hurowtiz\, and Hannah Gundersheim. \n  \nHow much does it cost for additional guests?  \n\n1 Kadima@BJ Parent- Free (Each Additional Parent: $300)\n1 Kadima@BJ Child- Free (Each Additional Child: $220)\n\nIs this open to all BJ families?  \nReach for Shabbat is open to all families with students aged 3rd-6th grade\, and their family members. The retreat is a part of the Kadima@BJ Curriculum and is included in tuition\, which gives priority to those families. Families who are not registered for Kadima@BJ can participate with a fee. \n\nFamilies not enrolled in Kadima Parent- $300\nFamilies not enrolled in Kadima Child- $220
