Learning from our ShinShinim
Israel Culture Club
Each month, from September to June, our ShinShinim lead an interactive session on various aspects of Israeli culture. Come out to experience their creativity as they engage us with an evening of learning and fun.
Our ShinShinim
Temple Har Zion continues to participate in UJA’s Israel Engagement by embracing and hosting young Israeli leaders who have chosen to defer their army service for one year to volunteer in the GTA.
THZ’s ShinShinim have always worked diligently and tirelessly to plan engaging programs for our Temple community. Just as they are thrilled to teach us about Israel and share their lives with us, we are honoured to share what Reform Judaism is all about with them. They are often surprised to learn just how much we Jews in the Diaspora care about their home, and are also amazed to learn that we consider Israel our homeland as well.
Our ShinShinim have joined our community, becoming a part of the THZ family through their involvement in synagogue life in a variety of ways, including providing programming for all ages.
We look forward to their monthly Israel Culture Club sessions for members of all ages to enjoy these young adults teaching us about their culture.
Our Shin for 2023-24
We welcome Shira Eliahu to our THZ family for the coming year. She is part of the 17th Kommunah (community of students) to come to Toronto. Shira's excited to teach us about 'her Israel' and gain an understanding about Reform Judaism that she can take back with her to her family and community.
Check out the video that Shira and her partner, Mor Tarshish, put together to introduce themselves to us.
