For the past 4 years, we have planted daffodils to honor the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust. Last fall, we expanded to Lake County JCC and planted Blooms for Bibas – orange daffodils in memory of the Bibas children and all the children whose lives were tragically taken since October 7, 2023. Join us with your family (suggested age: 11+) to continue this tradition and hear a Holocaust survivor share their story followed by planting the daffodils accompanied by a musical performance.

Our Affordable Housing communities came together to celebrate Sukkot with an afternoon of music, connection, and tradition. We were delighted to welcome Robert for a special performance, enjoyed a shared meal with friends and neighbors, and joined together in singing “Hatikvah,” Israel’s national anthem. Thank you to everyone who helped make this meaningful celebration so special.
