Bushey United Synagogue experienced the most meaningful and incredible Israel Shabbat with Yaakov and Or Bohbot, family of Elkana Ben Ruchama who has been held in captivity by Hamas since the 7th of October. Speaking twice over Shabbat, they shared their powerful story of how Elkana was taking hostage and what we can do to help.
We also welcomed our special guest speaker, the amazing Beatie Deutsch, who spoke to 170 people at a communal Friday night dinner about becoming Israel’s national marathon Champion. Other highlights included a Youth lunch for 120 people and hearing from Neville Goldschneider about the growth of Camp Simcha.
