The Adas Yoshuron Zionist Forum, a new group spearheaded by Kevin Lipson, will have its kickoff meeting Sunday, August 5, at 5:00 p.m. at the synagogue. Kevin describes AYZF as "open to all members of the community who are committed to strengthening the relationship between Israel and our Maine communities. Together, we will build a stronger and more confident support for Israel and -- in the process -- strengthen our Jewish identity and commitment to Israel's security."
