Professor Yael Refaely Allal
Head of Thoracic Surgery,
Chair of Surgery, Soroka Medical Center, Israel
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us Sunday,
Jan 11, 2026, for an extraordinary evening with
Professor Yael Refaely Alla.
It was truly a night to remember.
Professor Yael’s presentation was both informative and deeply engaging, weaving heartfelt personal stories with fascinating insights and important perspectives. Her warmth, authenticity, and dedication resonated throughout the room, sparking thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations. We are sincerely thankful for the time and care she shared with our community and hope to stay connected—and to welcome her back to Idaho in the future.
Equally important was the presence of our guests. By showing up, supporting the JCC of Idaho, engaging with the presentation, and taking time to connect with one another—and with the Professor—you helped create an atmosphere of learning, reflection, and genuine community. The energy in the room, the conversations before and after the talk, and the new connections formed are exactly what our JCC strives to cultivate.

Finding Faith in the Terror
Tunnels of Gaza
Over 600 Attend Community Gathering to Hear Released Hostages Share Their Story
On November 9, 2025, more than 600 people came together for an unforgettable community-wide event to hear firsthand from released hostages Sapir Cohen and Sasha Troufanov, who courageously shared how they survived captivity in Gaza.
It was a beautiful and moving evening—filled with stories of faith and resilience, heartfelt music, meaningful gifts, prayer, and an outpouring of love. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended and helped make this night truly memorable.
Together, we stand united in hope, strength, and love—for Israel, and for our community here in Idaho.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this special!

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you who attended, volunteered, and donated. It was a truly special evening—dancing, singing festive songs, eating traditional Hanukkah foods, and watching children light-up as they made crafts, played games, and watched with delight a Hanukkah play.
