HOD Lodge Galil creates the Nat Levy Scholarship Fund in memory of our Worthy Brother Nat Levy, to help fund Jewish education in Houston. Stay tuned for more information on eligibility and application.

Just like the Gravestone project, below, we cannot do this by ourselves - please consider donating.

Houston Gravestone Project

We have placed over 50 markers on unmarked Jewish graves in all of the Jewish cemeteries in Houston, and we are committed to making sure no Jewish grave in Houston goes unmarked.  

HOD Lodge Galil is proud to lead the project, but we need help from you to complete it.  Please donate, or read more. Please email if you'd like to discuss the project in more detail.
