News from the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, Inc
Passport to Israel
As we move into the last month of Spring the cres
cendo of activities at the AJCC picks up dramatically.
The halls and rooms of our buildings are filled with the
sounds of music of rehearsals from our Cabaret night, the
grinding noise of the buzz saw cutting the doors for the
new Holocaust Museum, the hammering as volunteers
finish the decorations for Beach Ball while committees
meet in various areas planning Passport to Israel and the
Israel Memorial Day ceremonies. It is the last great finale
before we move into our camp season, and these sounds
are replaced by the laughter of happy children in one of
half a dozen camps and summer programs.
Yom Hazikaron
The entire community is invited to memorialize the
Israel soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the survival of
the State of Israel at the Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memor
ial Day Ceremony), Monday, May 12, at 8 p.m. at the
AJCC/Peachtree. The program will be conducted in
Hebrew and English and will feature Israeli Chorale and
readings. The Yom Hazikaron ceremony is sponsored by
the Israel Program Center of the AJCC, the Consultate
General of Israel and the Israel Aliyah Center. Help us
remember and honor our Israeli heroes.
