Thank you to Dalia Klein, a member of the Partnership@Gether committee, for sharing this incredible celebration with us.

The teachers at Rockwern Academy challenged their students to write “6-word memories” that described how they felt about the delegation of Netanya 8th graders who recently visited Cincinnati. Here are just a few:

“New friends from across the world.” —Isaac
“First strangers, next friends, then family.” —Shayna
“I met six friends for life.” —Elise

Thank you to the Chaverim M’Israel for all of your work with this amazing delegation!

Shabbat Shalom from Dalia Klein in Netanya! Dalia is a member of the Partnership2Gether board that works to build living bridges between our communities.

Have you seen cuter Passover decorations? Belly Haus, co-chair of the Partnership2Gether program in Netanya is getting ready! How are you decorating?
