We are excited to share a few preliminary results gathered from clients who were served by Jewish Milestones from 2004 to 2008. Those of you who have benefited from our services but have not yet received our survey can look forward to getting it in the coming months. We hope you will take the time to share your experiences with us as we continue shaping our services to meet your needs.
