NOTE THE RESCHEDULED DATE FOR THIS PROGRAM. PLEASEREREGISTERTO ATTEND. Leading the Fight Against Antisemitism on Campus: Noa Fay in Conversation Thursday, August 22, 7:00 pm Noa Fay, a recent college student whose efforts have garnered respect from teens all over the country, was a Jewish student leader at Columbia University, the epicenter of the anti-Israel protest movement that unfolded on American college campuses this past spring.
Noa will share her first-hand perspective, a perspective experienced by many high school and college students, on what it was like to be Jewish on campus during that time and offers insights into both what to look for when considering schools and how to respond should something similar happen on your campus.

While this program is geared towards teens, college students, and their parents, it is open to all and the greater community.
Take our monthly challenge and make being green part of being Jewish! For the month of August our topic is Water Conservation. In Judaism, water is highly regarded not only as a vital resource for life but also as a symbol of purity, renewal, and spiritual cleansing. The Jewish perspective on water conservation reflects a holistic approach that integrates spiritual values with practical environmental concerns. It encourages individuals and communities to be mindful of their water usage, to prioritize sustainability, and to advocate for responsible stewardship of this precious resource.
Check out our August Eco Challenge web pagefor practical tips for reducing water usage at home as well as at Sinai. Save the earth and save money on your water bill at the same time!
