Go and Learn - Sunday June 3rd, 4-7PM
| 
The Young, Jewish & Proud (YJP) Los Angeles chapter, invites you to our second Go and Learn Boycott Divestment Sanctions Education Event.
A growing number of Jewish institutions are creating guidelines, like the
ones adopted by Hillel that silence young Jewish voices and discourage open
conversation and education about Israel and Palestine.
We believe that it is important to create safe spaces where Jews of all perspectives can exchange information and opinions and learn together about contemporary issues that affect our community, including the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). Currently, there is no space within the Jewish community to talk about and seek to understand the BDS movement-no matter your political position.
For more information or to RSVP, contact goandlearnla@gmail.com
The SoCal Workmen's Circle / Arbeter Ring is proud to provide a Jewish space for this event, although we do not endorse any particular solution.

Get Yours Now! Sale of Cemetery Plots!!
|
Limited Time Offer!
Sale of Cemetery Plots to Arbeter Ring Members!
To our members (and prospective members):
One of the historic benefits Arbeter Ring has always offered to our members is reasonably-priced cemetery plots. We have several remaining plots in the beautiful Mount Shalom South section at Eden Memorial Park which we are offering to our members at well below market rate. This section is sold out, but if plots were available there or in comparable sections, they would go for upwards of $9000 each. We are offering these plots to our members at the very attractive price of $6500, but only until Rosh Hashone this fall, that is, for about six months, or as long as they last. At that point, if we have any left, we will open up sales to the general public, and we are confident they will sell quickly. This will be your last opportunity to purchase plots from us, because we do not expect to ever make this benefit available again in Southern California. Please contact our office at 310.552.2007 for further details.
