Pesach Greetings and Important Announcements from Degel Menashe.

(March 31, 2026) Degel Menashe extends its warmest and most heartfelt greetings to all of Israel and Jewish communities around the world on the joyous occasion of Pesach 5786. As we prepare to celebrate this festival of freedom, a time that commemorates our journey from bondage to redemption; we do so amid challenging circumstances. Under the shadow of ongoing conflict and uncertainty, we are reminded more than ever of the strength, unity, and resilience that have defined the Jewish people throughout history.

For millennia, our nation has endured trials and tribulations, overcoming adversity with unwavering faith and determination. Time and again, we have risen above those who sought to harm us, preserving our identity and heritage against all odds. This moment in history is no different. With hope and steadfast belief, we trust that these difficult times, too, shall pass, giving way to peace and renewal.

In the spirit of Pesach, a time of renewal, growth, and new beginnings, Degel Menashe is pleased to share two announcements that mark important steps forward for our community.

Firstly, we are happy to announce the appointment of Ms. Jessica Thangjom as the Community Development Coordinator of Degel Menashe. Ms. Thangjom brings with her a wealth of experience in community service, leadership, and grassroots development. She has played a pivotal role in the establishment and continued success of Kibbutz Ma’oz Tzur in Lamka, where her dedication, vision, and tireless efforts have strengthened communal life and fostered unity.

In her role as Community Development Coordinator, Ms. Thangjom will be responsible for strengthening community engagement, supporting the integration of new B’nei Menashe olim, and developing programs that enhance social, educational, and cultural life within the community. Her work will include coordinating outreach initiatives, facilitating communication between community members and organizational leadership, and identifying the evolving needs of families and individuals to ensure appropriate support systems are in place.

She will also play a key role in planning and implementing community-based projects, organizing educational and cultural activities, and building partnerships with relevant institutions and stakeholders. Through her leadership, Degel Menashe aims to further empower individuals, nurture a sense of belonging, and promote sustainable growth within the community. The organization is confident that her experience and dedication will greatly contribute to its continued progress and impact.

Secondly, Degel Menashe is delighted to announce the launch of its Scholarship Program for the academic year 2026–2027. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to education, empowerment, and the future of the B’nei Menashe community. We invite eligible applicants to submit their scholarship requests to designated email address of the organization: degelmenashe@gmail.com. Further details, including the full Terms & Conditions of the program, will be released following the Pesach holiday and made available here.

Applicants will have until July 31, 2026, to submit their requests. Additional updates and guidance regarding the application process will be communicated in due course.

As we gather with family and community to celebrate Pesach, may this festival bring renewed strength, hope, and blessings to all. May it inspire us to continue building a brighter future together, rooted in faith, unity, and perseverance.

Chag Pesach Sameach!
