As part of a statewide observance and celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom HaZikaron, the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine is bringing Keren Borovsky Oren and Harel Oren, survivors of the October 7, 2023 terror attacks, to Maine, and they will join us this weekend at Adas Yoshuron.

As residents of Kibbutz Re’im, located just a few miles from the Gaza border, Keren and Harel's lives were upended when Hamas launched a brutal attack on their kibbutz and their home. Join Keren and Harel to celebrate Israel Independence Day with a picnic and Israeli music at the shul. Learn from them about the impact of the war on their lives and community. We’ll provide the meal; all you need to do is show up! RSVPs are strongly encouraged so we know how much food to order. RSVP to info@adasyoshuron.org or call the office to let us know you'll be there: 207-594-4523.
