Shabbat Shalom from Poland
April 17, 2015
Dear family and friends,
Travel Log
This is my first of two week’s of Travel Shabbat emails.  When I travel I always write my weekly messages ahead of time as to not miss saying Shabbat Shalom to you Friday morning.  As you read this, I will be in Poland participating on the March of the Living (on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day) with 35 other Detroit women and hundreds of youth from around the world. This program started in 1988 to proudly prove that Hitler’s plan to exterminate the Jews had failed and that Jews thrive around the world and that Israel is our Democratic Protective Homeland from anti-semitism and any future genocides. http://motl.org/

March of the Living

From Sorrow to Joy
The week following Yom HaShoah is Yom Hazikaron (April 22nd) when we remember the fallen Israeli soldiers and terrorist victims.  It is a solemn day with memorials all throughout Israel and the diaspora. But just as the Marchers depart the death camp and then travel directly to Israel and as Yad Vashem ends its tours overlooking the lively rolling hills of Eretz Yisrael, Yom Hazikaron is immediately followed by Yom HaAzmaut, Israel’s joyous day of independence. We never Forget but we also move Forward and rejoice.
Our Only Home
Also on April 22nd is Earth Day.  It will be our 45th recognition of this day which was founded by US Senator Gaylord Nelsonof Wisconsin. The original Earth Day of 1970 spawned the Environmental Protection Agency as well as Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Act.  We must keep vigilant to protect the only home we have until the day that Delta schedules space travel to other livable planets.
Mom’s Tribute
Mother’s day is about 3 weeks away but if you want to get your gift early, here is a great opportunity. Jewish Family ServicesJoy Project is back by popular demand.  By supporting this project, you will be helping the many moms in our community with the extra help that is gravely needed.  With your donation, a special tribute mother’s day card will be sent to the moms in your life.  It is a win-win for all. http://www.jfsdetroit.org/support-jfs/joy-project/ You can also support this project by shopping at Marlee’s by Tappers (12-Oaks, Novi) on April 23rd (6-8pm)
