9:00am	1:30pm		Blood Drive We are continuing our lifesaving tradition of hosting blood drives during holiday weeks when blood is always especially needed. Reserve a slot by going to donors.vitalant.org and use the code etzchayim to get to our drive. First-timers welcome! All donors will receive a thank you t-shirt! But the biggest thank you will be the satisfaction that you are helping to save a life with an hour of your time.
12:30pm	1:30pm		Run for Their Lives (Parking Lot) Run for Their Lives is a global movement founded by Israelis in the Bay Area. Their mission is to raise awareness for the hostages held in Gaza. Each week, groups worldwide come together for family-friendly walks or runs lasting 18 (ח"י) minutes. Participants wear red shirts and carry flags representing the 28 nationalities of the hostages. So far there are 70+ groups across the globe, with new ones joining daily. Our Palo Alto group walks every Sunday at 12:30pm. People can join the silent WhatsApp group for location updates and to participate: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BeEgTk1MGlcDTJb6f5DqLX.
