Led by Musical Director Miron Minster and Director Tamir Kimhi the "Young Rosh Ha'Ayiners" was founded in 2008 with 24 members. The members, boys and girls are aged 13 through 18 and were all chosen for their high talents in singing, acting and dancing.
The group meets twice a week for intensive training and rehersals for planned programs. The troupe represents Rosh Ha'Ayin on many occasions and frequently performs at celebrations throughout the city.
Three of the troupe, two girls and one boy who are part of the delegation that will be performing in New Orleans will be joining the Israeli Defense Forces on their return to Israel. The group is a great reflection of a culturally integrated Rosh Ha'Ayin, composed of members from both the city's old and new neighborhoods. This group is truely a good represntation of the musical city Rosh Ha'Ayin.
While in New Orleans the Young Rosh Ha'Ayiners will be peforming 62 years of celebration to Israel, a country with m ilk, honey and other flavors. Singing songs that express the culture, character and ingathering of the exiles with out hope for peace.

Smashing geographic barriers, the newest P2K program: The Beit Midrash Joint Study program!
See, hear and interact with Jews in Rosh Ha'Ayin, Israel as together we explore Jewish identity from both the Diaspora and Israeli perspectives studying the Rambam's, (Maimonides) letters that he wrote to the Jewish community living in Yemen. These lettes contained the Rambam's advice on how to live Jewishly in Yemen and the Diaspora and how to meet the unique challenges. Facilitating this program is Rabbi Ethan Linden.
Interdenominational
No pre-requisite knowledge necessary
Study materials provided in English
Our study session will be combined with the study group from our Israeli partnership 2000 city Rosh Ha'Ayin via Skype video conference with full visual and audio support and will explore the different perspectives, questions and conclusions developed by both groups.
Join this exciting program at no cost.
All Jews are invited to participate.
A participant testimonial:
"Most of those attending had little background in Maimonides's life's work. Rabbi Ethan Linden put the Iggeret Tiemani in a great framework. After describing Maimonides life, various issues he hfaced, he selected the salient features in Maimonides letter, keeping us all focused, Reform to Orthodox!" We "are ready to discuss with the Rosh Ha'Ayin P2K community what the Iggeret Tiemani means, especially to those of Yemenite background. Our Skype teleconference will offer great opportunities for all of us to get to know partipating Israelis on our sister city's end, of both a similar and different ethnic background to us in New Orleans."
Please contact P2K Director: Neil Schneider to participate or with questions on this program.

On March 25, 2009 with the blessing of Mayor Moshe Sinai of Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, trees were planted in our sister city to commemorate a new park called - appropriately enough - P2K Park.
moreOn March 25, with the blessing of Mayor Moshe Sinai of Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, trees were planted in our sister city to commemorate a new park called - appropriately enough - P2K Park.
New Orleans Partnership 2000 Co-Chairperson Ann Kimball planted trees in the new park while in Israel on a synagogue mission. Signs were erected by Rosh Ha’ayin’s P2K committee to thank New Orleans and Birmingham.
The P2K Park holds significant geographic importance to the city of Rosh Ha’ayin and the goals of the New Orleans P2K Steering Committee. The city of Rosh Ha’ayin consists of two major sections, old and new, and the park sits between them. The old section of town was part of the original city founded in 1949 by Yemenite immigrants.
Over the past two decades three new neighborhoods have been built in Rosh Ha’ayin increasing the city’s population to over three times the size of the city in 1990. The P2K Park illustrates the hope of the New Orleans P2K Steering Committee to connect these two sections of the city.
The formal initiation of the P2K Park will take place during the P2K steering committee meetings in June.
