SUMMARY:Reverse Tashlich ⏺️ *Rescheduled to 10/6*
DESCRIPTION:*The Peachtree Creek Reverse Tashlich cleanup has been rescheduled to Sunday\, October 6! We will still be cleaning the Peachtree Creek Greenway\, where the creek was badly battered by the flooding water brought on by Hurricane Helene. The waters brought a lot of debris\, which we hope to remove\, preventing it from flowing south into the Chattahoochee River (and eventually the ocean). Please register for the new date using the link below.\n \n— \nJoin AA's Greening Group for Reverse Tashlich! The ritual of Tashlich requires us to symbolically cast our sins into a body of moving water; Reverse Tashlich asks us to remove human-made trash from our rivers and streams\, much of which ultimately flows into our oceans. This year\, like last year\, we will clean the Peachtree Creek Greenway\, a beautiful walking/running path just a few miles east of AA. \nPlease arrive at the parking lot by 1:45 p.m. to register. All are welcome to stay on dry ground\, but if you plan on getting down and dirty\, be sure to wear boots. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. Gloves will be provided. \nThis is AA's sixth year participating\, and we will be one of over 250 Reverse Tashlich events across the globe on that day\, coordinated through Repair the Sea. Our event is co-sponsored by Adamah-Atlanta. \nRegistration is required (link below). \nQuestions? Contact the Greening Group Co-Chair: Myrtle Lewin (aagreening@gmail.com). \n Register

SUMMARY:One Year Commemoration of the October 7 Massacre in Israel ⏺️
DESCRIPTION:On October 7\, 2023\, Israel endured the deadliest attack on Jewish people in a single day since the Holocaust. On Simchat Torah\, a celebratory holiday of our Jewish heritage and pride\, Hamas terrorists breached the southern Gaza border and took 1\,200 innocent lives. There are still more than 100 hostages still in Gaza from more than eight different nations\, showing that this is not just a Jewish or Israeli issue. It is an issue of humanity. And we must stand together to find comfort\, support\, and healing. \nIsrael remains a focal point in our work and community efforts. In light of recent events and the ongoing captivity of hostages\, we are committed to supporting those affected alongside our overseas partners. As we continue these vital efforts\, we must look forward and consider how we\, as a community\, will come together to mark the tragic events of October 7. Remembering is a fundamental aspect of Jewish tradition\, and we must honor those who lost their lives while remaining vigilant in safeguarding our freedom to practice our faith. \nThe Israeli government established an annual national day of remembrance on the Hebrew date of the 24th of Tishrei. For the first anniversary of this tragedy\, an additional ceremony will be held on the Gregorian date of October 7. Here in Atlanta\, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta is organizing two significant community events to observe these dates: the Gregorian anniversary on October 7 and the Hebrew anniversary on October 27. Join AA and many Jewish Atlanta organizations for these meaningful events. \nThe event on October 27 is an experiential and educational program. It will feature an expo of ways to engage with Israel\, educational sessions led by community experts\, hands-on activities\, and a ceremony honoring the victims. \nRegistration is required to attend these events (links below). \n Register for October 7\n Register for October 27
