I would like to send out the list of ingredientsin an email to those who sign up. This event is intended for families (under COVID guidelines).
January 29 12PM- Leadership in Youth during the Holocaust
In this event, we will explore the various leadership skills of the youth during the Holocaust (ages ranging from 18-22).
