From Los Angeles, taking action for Israelis on the front lines
In the days after Oct. 7, Momentum sister Alissa Haroush felt called to help.
We were able to catch our breath after 25 hours of Shabbat
So we boarded the busses on our way to Tsfat
Our morning talk was about relationships and such
And upon reflection we talked about the love language of touch
Tsfat was a trek but well worth the drive
The town has an amazing energy that makes you alive
We went for a tour to a synagogue and shops
And the artwork and candles got lots of props
We had the most amazing Yemenite pizza for lunch
With delicious homemade lemonade that we all loved a bunch
Next off to the Mikva for a personal tour
That many felt down to their spiritual core
We ended the day with a ceremonial meal
The Red Khan venue was totally surreal
We connected with our souls through movement and dance
And we were so excited to be given awesome this chance
As Momentum draws to an end, we are so sad to watch it go
We have all grown so much that you can see our souls glow
Everyone in our group has reported so much change
That years of therapy could never arrange
Together we have made lifelong friends for real
And feel blessed to have had this opportunity to heal
Thank you, Momentum, we are so grateful to you
Opportunities like this one are far between and few

Weston, FL – Bnai Aviv of Weston
In the days after Oct. 7, Momentum sister Alissa Haroush felt called to help.
At Driving to Greatness, the MoMENtum Men’s Retreat in Orlando, Florida, we got real about our lives and our potential – and put ourselves in the driver’s seat. With educators Charlie Harary, Ari Shabat, and Harry Rothenberg as our guides, we tackled how to handle failures and setbacks, bounce back, and succeed the way we want to.
