The Aliyah Experience – Our OLM Jan. 21
What’s it like to make Aliyah? Is moving to Israel just like moving to any other country? Get a personal perspective in a conversation with Bro Rabbi Mario Karpuj as he and Rabbi Analia go through the process of picking up stakes and moving internationally – again. Sign up here so our chefs, Yossi and Mitch, have enough to feed you. Meeting at Congregation Or Hadash, 7640 Trowbridge Road, Sandy Springs. Schmooze at 7 p.m., meeting at 7:30. If you have a vetted prospective member, invite him for dinner – but let us know he’s coming so there’s food. Business casual attire is required.

Atlanta’s ‘Super Mario Brothers’ at Zichron Menachem
Worthy Brother Mario Oves, President of HOD’s North America Governing Lodge, and newly-initiated Brother Mario Karpuj, Lodge Bezalel, were in Jerusalem to present a check for $22,000 at the Zichron Menachem campus in Jerusalem.
The money will fund the construction of a hair salon dedicated to helping children with cancer. The salon will provide custom made wigs, along with payot for the religious boys. In the last year alone, they created over 500 custom-made wigs for children and young adults. They style and color the wigs, to create a look as close as possible to their existing hair style.
