SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah 60th Community-Wide Holocaust Commemoration ⏺️
DESCRIPTION:Join us rain or shine at the Memorial to the Six Million at Greenwood Cemetery as we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the heroism of survivors and rescuers. \nThis year is the 60th anniversary of Atlanta's Memorial to the Six Million. Since its construction was completed in 1965\, it has been a holy place where human ashes from Dachau and bars of soap from Jewish bodies are interred for eternity. It is a place for all to say Kaddish (mourner's prayer) and lay a stone on the tomb or for survivors and their descendants to place a flower on their loved ones' Yahrzeit (memorial) plaques inside the Memorial. As we do each year\, we will honor our Holocaust survivors in attendance. \nThis event is free and open to the public and is jointly sponsored by Eternal Life-Hemshech\, the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum\, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta. \nFor more information\, please visit the Eternal Life Hemshech website.

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

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:Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder ⏺️
DESCRIPTION:Come to the 14th Annual Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder! Presented by the Atlanta Jewish Community Relations Council\, the event will again bring together many esteemed area clergy and community members of all faiths during this holy season and contemplative time of year. A festive and bountiful vegetarian meal will be interwoven with a modified Passover seder teeming with compelling information about the prevalence of food insecurity both nationally and in our midst. We will learn about local organizations that are rising to meet this challenge\, from grassroots food pantries to public policy and advocacy and the many ways we can all activate and engage in these efforts. \nThis year\, Rabbi Jason Holtz of Temple Kehillat Chaim will lead the seder alongside the Venerable Carole Maddux\, who is returning to help guide the program. Many local clergy and luminaries will also offer inspiration and participate in the individual table discussions. \nAnd our children will lead the way. After stealing the show in 2023\, Interfaith Atlanta Youth (IAY)\, under the skilled guidance of Dr. Chris RayAlexander and Rev. Cassandra A. Henderson (Interfaith Children's Movement)\, will meet for a three-part session and dialogue just before the program. During the seder they will then present Four New Questions about ways their various faith traditions inform and compel them to action around alleviating food insecurity. There is still time for additional area high schoolers and youth groups to participate in this meaningful program. \nWhile many existing partners and organizations are returning\, a variety of new allies are joining in support of this year's event. During the hour prior to the program\, The Marketplace offers an excellent opportunity to browse\, meet people\, and learn about the organizations leading the way in our community's efforts to combat food insecurity every day. \nSo register yourself or your family\, donate a seat to someone who is otherwise unable to attend\, charge your cell phones to interact with the Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder on-site in an environmentally conscious way\, and we'll see you there! \nAA is a proud community sponsor of this event. \n Register
