Fueled by their mission to create a “welcoming and inclusive Jewish community,” Fair Lawn’s Koleinu vibrantly celebrated the New Year for Trees with a delightful Tu B’shvat gathering on January 18. Amidst the sweet aromas of wine and fresh fruit, Shani Horowitz and Faigy Gilder orchestrated an evening of connection and reflection, perfectly embodying the celebratory spirit of the occasion. Rachel Kravetz’s insightful Dvar Torah nourished hearts and minds.

This festive kickoff marks the first of many planned events by Koleinu for 2024, setting the tone for a year of vibrant communal engagement. As new events blossom on the horizon, keep your eyes peeled—this community holds endless possibilities for connection, inspiration, and shared celebration.
