As we approach the holidays of Israel, known as “the Yoms”, Commonpoint will be rolling out events and programs from April-June as part of our Toda, Together initiative. Toda, Together
 seeks to foster deeper cultural, educational, and social connections with Jewish and Israel culture, history, and people. In a post-October 7th world, community cohesion and cultural understanding are more crucial than ever. These programs are open for all to join while we celebrate Israel and the Jewish people’s rich heritage. We are excited to offer all of these events free to our community!
