At-Home Bracelet Making for Israel

Date: Thursday, September 19 - Monday, September 23
Time: All Day

Send love and solidarity to our brothers and sisters in Israel with this at-home bracelet making project. Bracelets will be distributed to the families of IDF soldiers, those displaced by the attack on October 7, and more.

To make a bracelet, start by cutting the string to different lengths to fit children, teens, and adults (see chart here). For beads, consider using blue, white, silver, Star of David, flags, hearts, or words like “Israel,” “Hope,” “Faith,” and “Strength.” Be as creative as you want! Once completed, place the bracelets in a Ziploc bag or recyclable bag and drop them off at your preferred location* throughout Greater MetroWest NJ.

*Addresses for selected drop off locations will be provided to registrants on September 15.

Security at Federation Events

Your Greater MetroWest Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Three important items of note:

  • Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
  • Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
  • Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.

Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
