The Women’s Division of Emet Outreach was privileged to welcome Maya Namdar of Maya’s Place as guest speaker for the launch of their ten-week spring semester of Step It Up and Step Into Prayer. Held at Congregation Machane Chodosh in Forest Hills, the evening drew a motivated crowd eager to hear words of inspiration from Maya about her daughter Liel Dina, a”h. Liel was 15 when she passed away in a car accident in December of 2021. Since then, Maya, her husband Efraim, and their children have taken their tragedy and rallied klal Yisrael to “Live for Liel” in her z’chus. “The Namdars have brought so much positivity and light into the world in memory of Liel,” said Sara B., Program Director. “We wanted to energize the girls at the start the semester, and Maya was the perfect person to do so with lessons from Liel.”

Emet’s monthly couples’ workshops returned for spring with an informative evening at Shaare Emunah Sephardic Congregation of the Five Towns. In keeping with the goal to provide helpful content for couples at all stages of marriage, the relevant topic was “How to Have Tough and Delicate Conversations with Your Adolescent Children.” The guest speaker was Rabbi Doniel Frank, a marriage and family therapist, who was back by popular demand after delivering a similar workshop to Queens-based couples a few months ago. There was a relaxed feeling in the room as participants caught up with friends and mingled over sushi. Rabbi Nissim Musheyev, Emet Community Development Director, set the tone by explaining the importance of communication within the family since parents have the responsibility to be a “light” for their children.

Shavuos is the culmination of the seven-week-long “Counting of the Omer” that occurs following Pesach. The very name “Shavuos” means “weeks,” in recognition of the weeks of anticipation leading up to the Har Sinai experience. Shavuos commemorates Hashem giving the Torah to B’nei Yisrael. During the holiday prayer services, we read the story of the Revelation on Mount Sinai and the giving of the Ten Commandments. On the second day of Shavuos, we read Megillas Rus.
