WEEKLY UPDATE #6
NECHAMA'S NOTES
"WHY?"
Hi everyone!
What gives you the strength to keep going each day?
At JGU, our vital purpose to perpetuate Judaism through our Jewish daughters gives us energy and vitality to do the work. It is the vision that we are creating the Jewish mothers of tomorrow, lighting the flames today to ensure the continuity of our nation.
B"H, I had the good fortune to receive an email this week from Kharkov, Ukraine that reminded me once again WHY! Why we prepare classes, programs, JGR camp schedules, staff leadership training, inter-school broadcasts, inspirational resources, meetings and much more... (B"H for our fabulous JGU team of women and girls!)
Hi Nechama,
This is Miriam Moskovitz from Kharkov. On Friday night we had two women, Ola and Tanya R for our Shabbos meal. They used to hang out with you all the time when you were in Kharkov to help teach in our Jewish school and lead our overnight camp (over 20 years ago). They remembered the three of you so well! They taught you Russian and you taught them English. (Note: We taught them about Judaism in English!) It was so amazing to hear how they still remembered everything with such good memories.
Ola married a Jew and made a Chupah in Kharkov and she is a mother of 3 children. Her oldest son is 19 and his name is Menachem Mendel! Tanya lives in Kharkov and B'H also married a Jew and has 3 children today.
Hatzlocha (Success) in all you do and you should always merit to see the fruits!!
