Join us for a special evening with Rabbi Sam Kieffer as he discusses his family's life living in the real Israel. Rabbi Kieffer will give an honest, objective appraisal of daily life in Israel; seen through the eyes of one who dreamed and planned for 40 years to make Aliya and has now fulfilled that dream; comparing the expectation to actual experience; disappointments and concerns as well as unexpected and unbelievable surprises; day to day challenges; crazy drivers; government and politics; is there any reason to hope for a better future?

Rabbi Kieffer was the long time rabbi of B'nai Aviv, a Conservative congregation in Weston, Florida.

In lieu of an entrance fee for the event, we will be raising money for two Israeli based organizations that are on the front lines in Israel, helping victims of terror:

One Family Together: the premier national organization that rehabilitates, reintegrates and rebuilds the lives of Israel’s thousands of victims of terror attacks.

Magen David Adom - Israel’s ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization, serving as emergency medical first responders for the state’s 8 million people.

All proceeds from the event will go to these organizations.
