As we welcome Shabbat, and as the United States marks 250 years of independence, honor the democratic values of liberty, justice, and equality that have helped Jewish communities thrive.

May the light of Shabbat remind us of both the blessings we enjoy and the responsibility we share to help these ideals flourish for all.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Independence Day.

Today is Holocaust Survivor Day.

Sam Silberberg is one of 145 Holocaust survivors living right here in Orange County. His story is a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and the importance of ensuring survivors are cared for, honored, and never forgotten.

While we celebrate survivors like Sam and the generations they helped build, many still rely on community support for vital services, resources, and care.

💙 Thanks to the KAVOD Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund (SHEF), every dollar donated will be matched up to $36,000—doubling your impact.

This Holocaust Survivor Day, join us in showing up for survivors. Together, we can help ensure that survivors like Sam live their remaining years with the dignity, care, and support they deserve.
