            Dear Community Partners,

            I hope everyone is having a great week and is looking forward to the weekend! It is beginning to feel a lot like winter these days, and I know I am trying to take advantage of the remainder of the nice fall weather. 

            While we are all continuing to live a different kind of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this does not mean that we can't continue to provide our members with the supportive, warm, educational, and inclusive environment that is so important here at Yachad. In fact, our staff and volunteers have been working even harder than usual to make sure that our members are feeling like they still have their Yachad home to go to, and it is definitely working!

            Below you will see our list of virtual programming, but keep in mind that Yachad regions from all over the country are providing virtual programming for everyone, so feel free to check out different Yachad regions for more programming options. 

            Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have! 

            As usual, you can keep up with our events on our web calendar here and our blog posts can be found here.

            Thanks,
            Roe
