From the Newsletter Committee
Please donate your old digital camera to Netivot Shalom. We would like to keep these donated cameras in the office so that events around the campus may be effortlessly documented and photographed.

From the Levites
The Levite Community Is growing - But there is always room for more of you! Initiation and training is simple - just ask one of us! You can see who we are on Shabbat! We greet people and help people and pick up things and put things away and answer questions, and this and that. Write to us at nslevites@netivotshalom.org
