A Message from Rabbi Brian Glusman:
“Just wanted you to know that I am leading a trip to Israel in May and would appreciate if you could share the information with the Etz Chayim community. This one is a Deluxe Trip to Israel for Adults. I am very excited about this trip, which is for singles, couples of all ages and backgrounds. One of the highlights is that we will be celebrating Israel Independence Day in Israel!”
Thank you,
