When Albert Einstein Academy (AEA)students head back to school on Tuesday, September 6, there wil be 46 students enrolled, from first through fifth grade. Enrollment in the Hebrew day school has increased for four consecutive years. Michal Cherrin, Head of School says, "We are very excited for our new school year, here at Albert Einstein Academy. Our enrollment is up 15% from last year and we are eager to welcome so many new families to the school." Each year, the school adopts a different theme, and this year's theme is "AEA Explores the Arts." Albert Einstein Academy students learn through doing and we are looking forward to a terrific year with our theme, 'AEA Explores the Arts.' Einstein teaches kids to think for themselves and to present those ideas clearly and publicly. Our graduates make a big difference in our community and in the world!" The Albert Einstein Academy is a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of Delaware. |
Building Bridges
For the past decade, the Jewish communities of New Jersey and Delaware have enjoyed a growing bond with the Israeli towns of Arad and Tamar through Partnership 2000. Partnership 2000, recently renamed Partnership 2Gether (P2G), is a program of the Jewish Agency for Israel, linking communities in the Diaspora with communities in Israel, predominantly in the Negev and the Galilee.
Immediately following Hurricane Irene, any visitor to the New Jersey/Delaware and Arad/Tamar Partnership 2000 Facebook page would have seen how close the connections have grown. Yardena Haiman, an Arad/Tamar resident wrote: "We are attached to the TV to follow what's going on and praying that the storm will pass with no more casualties. Sending our hugs to you all."

Partnership 2Gether is supported through the Jewish Federation of Delaware's Annual Campaign.

Thanks to our local agencies and our National and International partners, the Annual Campaign is able to provide critical social services and programs in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, in Israel and around the world.

The mission of the Jewish Federation of Delaware is to mobilize the Jewish community to address issues, meet needs and build an agenda for the future.
Our vision is to bring people together into a community coalition, grounded in Jewish teachings and heritage, to strengthen the State of Israel, the global Jewish family and local organizations in order to further the survival of the Jewish people.
