Greetings!

 

It was a sincere pleasure attending the Jewish War Veterans of Delaware and Kutz Home Annual Meetings this past Sunday. Earlier this week, more than 20 Delawareans joined the more than 10,000 attendees at the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington DC. They were privileged to hear from President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu (see article below).

New this week to J-VOICE is our "Did You Know?" section that will provide our community with quick facts about Federation and our Jewish community. We hope you find it valuable and useful information.

Shabbat Shalom

  May the One who is a Source of Peace send peace to Jerry's family and loved ones, and may he be remembered for blessing.
