On Sunday, January 14, the Dor Hadash community came together for the 12th annual MLK Jr. Day of Service. Children and adults sang as well as discussed how to make change in our city and beyond. They made scarves with loving tags tied onto each one that will be given to homeless women at Rachel's House. They decorated hamsa signs to be given to families with a loved one in Hospice and door signs to be given to the seniors at Seacrest Village in Encinitas. They made hundreds of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless, and mitzvah bags that were filled to the top with wonderful supplies and snacks for those living on the streets. They helped clean up Hilltop Park, and helped feed the homeless with the San Diego non-profit Dreams for Change.

Harriette C. Schapiro Award for Outstanding Service
Bob Siegel (last year's recipient) presents Shari and John Ciancio with this year's Harriette C. Schapiro Award for Outstanding Service at this year's annual meeting.
Celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut
Gesher School students visited Israel in celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut. They stopped by a Shuk in Tel Aviv and bought items with their Gesher shekels, visited the Dead Sea (where they felt real Dead Sea mud), went to the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem where they wrote prayers and put them in the Wall, ran around an obstacle course, made blue and white jewelry, and decorated a large Israeli flag. Mindy's Daled/Hey class helped host the morning by preparing the Kotel, creating a presentation about Southern Israel and providing brochures and posters of Northern Israel, Tel Aviv, and Haifa.
