Gift of a Yad for Sarah Livschitz

Sarah Livschitz, who grew up at Beth Shalom, is about to be ordained a rabbi at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. Rabbi Dean will attend the ceremony to represent us.

We’re giving her a very special ordination present: a yad made out of pounamu. This Torah pointer, carved by our own Leonard Bloksberg, will help her keep the spirit and energy of New Zealand and Beth Shalom with her throughout her rabbinic career. Rabbi Dean will carry it with him in May, and present it to her during Ordination Weekend.

Please consider contributing to the cost of the yad using this Givealittle Any donation is appreciated. Funds collected over and above the cost of the yad will be donated to Yachad.

Here’s Leonard’s website to get a sense of his work: https://www.crystillery.com/.

This is, truly, a once in a generation simcha for Beth Shalom!
