SEE AND BE SCENE THROUGH THE LENS IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA COMMUNITY HAMENTASHEN BAKE WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
The hybrid approach for this year’s Community Hamentashen Bake was a great success. Some participants came to the event in person and some joined virtually from home, but everyone left with some delicious hamentashen, the knowledge of the four mitzvot of Purim, and the story behind this holiday. What a blessing it is to be able to connect both virtually and in-person during these unusual times. Etz Chaim, the Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida, the JCA, and PJ Library all feel very fortunate to collaborate on special programming like this for our community.
