Greetings!

I am writing this week's message from my laptop in Las Vegas while attending a Development Professionals Institute with more than 100 communal professionals representing Federations from across North America. Just days earlier, 1,300 young Jewish adults transcended Las Vegas for TribeFest - an entertaining, interactive and educational celebration (Delaware's Young Leadership Division Chair attended as well).

One of the sessions included a dialogue with Sheldon Adelson, Chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. As one of the wealthiest people in America and top Jewish philanthropists in the world, he believes that changing lives for the better is the most noble thing you can do.

We also received updates from our overseas partners, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, reminding me of a David Ben Gurion quote, "We Are One."

Thank you for your continued commitment and support in Improving Our World...TOGETHER.

Shabbat Shalom.

Jewish Voice Boasts New Design & Electronic Version

March Cover of JV

The Jewish Federation of Delaware added a new dimension to its enhanced communications. The Jewish Voice newspaper will introduce a more contemporary design next month. Its new, smaller size features full color, allowing for enhanced advertisements, graphics and photographs. A new banner will grace the cover of the Jewish Voice importing the use of Federation's logo.


In addition to these newspaper improvements, you can now go to ShalomDelaware.org to see the electronic version of this month's edition of the Jewish Voice.


"It is impressive. You click on a button and the simulated page turns for you. These pages look exactly as it was published in print. With no software to download, you'll be able to easily forward stories to others," said Jewish Voice & J-VOICE Online Editor, Michelle Effron Miller. "The industry is changing at lightning speed and I am proud that our Federation is keeping up with the times."
