Shlicha (Israeli Emissary)

Israeli Emissary Lian Bar Zohar held a Tu B’Shvat seder to celebrate the festival of the trees.

Celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8) and Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of a new Hebrew month (traditionally a women’s holiday) with a hafrashat challah ceremony and a special guest lecture from influential women in the Indianapolis community! Hafrashat challah, traditionally a women’s mitzvah (good deed or commandment), takes place while baking challah bread and involves separating out a piece of dough from the batch that then serves as a gift to G-d.

Call or text Israeli Emissary Lian Bar Zohar at 317-800-9350 to RSVP for this powerful women’s event.

Celebrate Purim with music, good food, and good friends! BYOB. Costumes mandatory! Call or text Israeli Emissary Lian Bar Zohar at 317-800-9350 to RSVP.

In this and upcoming issues, Israeli Emissary Lian Bar Zohar will share an important moment she experienced as a shlicha in Indianapolis.

“Last fall, I had the privilege of watching the Hasten Hebrew Academy of Indianapolis (HHAI) 5th/6th grade girls’ volleyball team win their league championship! These girls were underdogs, like David vs. Goliath, but they pulled through like the winners they are. Special shout-out to Michael Voskoboynik, HHAI technology teacher and volunteer volleyball coach, for helping the girls reach this milestone!”
