Mitzvah Magic: Honoring the Warriors Among Us

By Seth Stern

Courage is the theme for November’s Mitzvah Magic at Beth El with a focus on veterans.

The “Warriors Among Us” event on November 8 will feature a discussion moderated by Beth El’s Jeremy Bash with synagogue members who are serving or previously served in the U.S. military along with Israeli Defense Forces defense attachés.

The panelists will explore the experiences and differences between American and Israeli military service, discuss levels of American Jewish support for the armed forces, and reflect on the significance of service to both countries.

Attendees will also have a chance to learn about how to support impactful organizations supporting members of the military and veterans such as Fisher House, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, The Boulder Crest Foundation, and Operation Gratitude.

Israeli embassy families and other community members are welcome to attend. Lunch will begin at noon with the discussion to follow at 1 p.m. Please RSVP at bethelmc.org/events/warriors-1108.

And don’t forget to submit your family’s own good deeds for inclusion in the mitzvah tree that’s on display in the lobby.
