A chance to say ‘goodbye’ to Tslil Reichman

A farewell party will be held for Tslil Reichman, the community’s outgoing shlichah (Israeli emissary), on Wednesday, June 13, at the Alliance’s Dwares Jewish Community Center. Well-wishers may drop in from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Following a second summer at Camp JORI, Reichman will have finished a two-year assignment in a program that is sponsored by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island and the Jewish Agency for Israel. She has appeared around the state and has taught in most of the congregational schools and both day schools, and has worked weekly with children of all ages at the Dwares JCC (including the David C. Isenberg Family Early Childhood Center and the Eides Family J-Space).

For adults, she has prepared monthly Jewish culture nights, which have included films, lectures and food programs. The Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day) program was a significant event she has planned each year. She also planned a memorial program a month following the death of Shimon Peres and a commemoration of Yitzhak Rabin. She has made presentations at congregations and at a number of organizations. She has been a weekly presence on the Brown and University of Rhode Island campuses. She has been welcomed by other communities, where she told the story of her mother’s Iraqi family and served as a counselor for Israeli Scouts who spent a week in California.

Celebrate Reichman’s accomplishments. For more information, contact Larry Katz at lkatz@jewishallianceri.org or 401-421-4111.
