About HAZAK
The Leida Uretsky Chapter of Hazak is an auxiliary of Congregation Anshai Torah, whose members are adults 55 and older. Hazak is an organization founded by United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism in recognition that the most rapidly growing demographic group in the Jewish community are the 55 and older “Baby Boomers”. Hazak provides opportunities to connect with the congregation, to enrich our personal and congregational lives, to strengthen our congregation, to be a voice for seniors in our shul and, most important, to have fun.
The name HAZAK (strength) is an acronym: the het stands for Hokhmah (wisdom), the zayan for Ziknah (maturity) and the kuph for Kadima (looking ahead). Hazak affirms the traditional Jewish view that mature adults should have the opportunity to continue to learn and be active in their congregations, their communities and among themselves. Hazak promotes Judaism through projects and meaningful experiences both in the synagogue environment and on a community level.
Address questions to and receive additional information from Hazak President, David Intebi, at HazakCAT@gmail.com or 214-668-7972.

ANSHAI TORAH and HAZAK - Need you at Minyan!
Many families are saying Kaddish due to a recent loss or annual remembrance. As YOU need the support of 9 others when it’s YOUR time to say Kaddish, it is OUR privilege and obligation to support others with regular Minyan attendance. Send an email to hazakcat@gmail.com with the date and whether you will attend the morning or evening service. We will be there for YOU! Until further notice evening minyanim are via Zoom and morning minyanim are either in person or via Zoom. Login to anshaitorah.org/zoom for details.
Join us for HAPPY HOUR every Wednesday at 5:45PM. We meet each Wednesday 30 minutes before the start of minyan. So bring your favorite food and/or drink, relax and SCHMOOZE! Then stay to join the minyan.
Give it a try, meet your friends on Zoom & chat!
