Learning from our ShinShinim

Temple Har Zion continues to participate in UJA’s Israel Engagement by embracing and hosting young Israeli leaders who have chosen to defer their army service for one year to volunteer in the GTA.

THZ’s ShinShinim have always worked diligently and tirelessly to plan engaging programs for our Temple community. Just as they are thrilled to teach us about Israel and share their lives with us, we are honoured to share what Reform Judaism is all about with them. They are often surprised to learn just how much we Jews in the Diaspora care about their home, and are also amazed to learn that we consider Israel our homeland as well.

Our ShinShinim have joined our community, becoming a part of the THZ family through their involvement in synagogue life in a variety of ways, including providing programming for all ages. 

We look forward to their monthly Israel Culture Club sessions for members of all ages to enjoy these young adults teaching us about their culture.
