The Jewish Federation Valley Alliance’s Ben-Gurion Society was crazy for pop duo Evan & Jaron during BG Live! at the Canyon Club on Oct. 18, which also celebrated the donor group’s 10th anniversary and raised money for the Fed Up With Hunger initiative. And while we’re on the topic of mitzvahs, more than two dozen Jewish organizations participated during the Valley’s 13th annual Mitzvah Day on Nov. 1, including Temple Aliyah, which organized care packages for troops serving overseas, and Congregation Or Ami, whose congregants created 400 Comfort Bags for children relocated to foster care. New Community Jewish High School, meanwhile, inducted 45 students into its inaugural National Honor Society chapter on Oct. 12, while Heschel West celebrated the opening of its new Ellie and Mark Lainer Library.
Evan and Jaron and more!
