Lights of Tomorrow
Upcoming events:
RSVP to join us in spreading the light of Hanukkah. We will be making paintings with messages of love & hope for a displaced community in Israel.
Our mission:
To equip Jewish youth with the tools necessary to advocate for themselves, the state of Israel and the Jewish community throughout high school and beyond. By providing Jewish teens with opportunities to connect to their culture, history and values, we hope to build a strong community of leaders, empowered to be lights for the future of our people and the world.
Our story:
Our name, Lights of Tomorrow, is in honor of the victims of Oct. 7th, one of whom was Laor Abramov (pictured below). True to his name (the "or" in Laor translates to "light"), Laor went to the Nova Music Festival to listen to music, dance and spread light. He was an aspiring DJ, valuer of coexistence and someone who never failed to make those around him laugh and feel loved. But on Oct. 7th, Laor was brutally murdered as terrorists infiltrated the festival site, alongside nearly 1200 others - at the Nova Festival and in their homes - many of whom, too, only wished for peace, to spread love and light.
While we can't bring back Laor and the 1200 lives senslessly taken on Oct. 7th back, we can carry on their memories. It is in honor of them and who they were that we will create a strong and proud community of Jewish youth - who feel connected to our history, prepared to fight for our future, and empowered to make our world a better, brighter place. We will be their lights, the Lights of Tomorrow.
