It’s been a busy Summer for La Ermandad in our NYC Metro area community, with exciting new programs going into the Fall and Winter. We hosted our second Sephardic Young Families Picnic in New Jersey, with over 30 young Turkish Jewish families enjoying delicious kosher Turkish food, new Sephardic children's books courtesy of PJ Library, and fun kids activities. Our Greek Jewish Festival in partnership with our affiliate synagogue Kehila Kedosha Janina on the Lower East Side, was a huge hit with live music, kosher Greek Jewish classics like Borekas and Biscochos, kids activities, and more. Over 10,000 people came out to party, and we sold out of food in just 3 hours!
In the Fall, we’ll be organizing a special in-person Sephardic Selihot Program in partnership with the Sephardic Congregation of Fort Lee, bringing together our members from around the tri-state area for a wonderful evening of Sephardic singing and preparation for the High Holidays. This will also coincide with a special Ziara - a Sephardic tradition of making an annual trip to the cemetery around the holidays - for our members in the region to visit their loved ones. Next up into the Fall, we have more exciting programs set, including some Sephardic Young Professionals happy hours, community education lectures, young families programs, and more. Make sure to keep an eye out in our weekly newsletter for all the exciting announcements to come!
