*If religious observance prevents you from taking photos during Shabbat and Jewish holidays, we encourage you to submit photos taken ahead of time, such as supplies, prep work with your kids, or even afterward (i.e., the evidence of a happy gathering!) and include those in your Get Together report.
A Get Together cannot be:

Please Note: Photos are for program purposes only and will not be shared without your explicit written permission.
*If religious observance prevents you from taking photos during Shabbat and Jewish holidays, we encourage you to submit photos taken ahead of time, such as supplies, prep work with your kids, or even afterward (i.e., the evidence of a happy gathering!) and include those in your Get Together report.
