HOD Lodge Galil and Lodge Tikvah of the Hebrew Order of David International (HOD) is coordinating this impressive Mitzvah project and had an "unveiling" of 19 markers in conjunction with Rabbi Morgan from Beth Yeshurun Synagogue on Sunday 6-26-2022. 

The goal is to place permanent markers on graves of all Jewish deceased that do not have them at Jewish Cemeteries.

*****************

Fun time was had by many local HOD members and even HOD members who were helping other teams stopped by to visit with our Jewish adult fraternity, part of the International century old Hebrew Order of David. 
 

Some of the Happy 2019 HOD participants with the secret ingredients hidden from view.

     

The early 2019 crew taste ...                                         Bro. donating Blood at Chili cook off.

L'chaim - Chai (18) participants were treated to a fantastic detailed presentation by Katherine from "Total Wine" about eight Kosher wines, the history of the vineyards and then we sampled the wine that was poured by two of our brethren to secure that everything remained kosher. We also learned about meshuval and non-meshuval. 

Spouse Appreciation Brunch

A most enjoyable event at the ERJCC. The delicious brunch was catered by Layke, who provided an eye-opening, sumptuous meal. Great turn out.

 

President Brother Marc welcomed all those present. He then presented some of our brethren with their HOD certificates.
