Greetings!
Federation's role of community convener was evident this week. Monday evening, a Jewish Education Task Force met to discuss and ensure the educational needs of our teens are being met. On Tuesday, we had an opportunity to meet Tali Ploskov, the Mayor of Arad, Federation's sister city in Israel through our Partnership Together (P2G) initiative. On Wednesday, nearly 100 women attended our Women of Wisdom (WOW) event at the Blue Ball Barn for an evening of motivation and inspiration. And last night, our Leadership Council comprised of key community leadership met as part of an ongoing collective think tank. We also completed the finishing touches to the November issue of the Jewish VOICE with an anticipated delivery next week. Federation's success relies on our community's shared commitment of Improving Our World...TOGETHER.Shabbat Shalom Seth J. Katzen Chief Executive Officer Please join me in congratulating community leader, Sonia Sloan, on receiving the Professional Life-Time Achievement Award from the Brandywine Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). Sonia will be honored on November 16th during the chapter's annual Philanthropy Day. |

Nearly 100 women attended the inaugural WOW: Women of Wisdom event on Wednesday, featuring Gabrielle Bernstein, and WOW what an incredible group of women it was!
900 women make a gift in their own name to the Jewish Federation's Annual Campaign each year, representing nearly half of the dollars raised in our community. This includes 50 Lions of Judah and a growing number of women making gifts of $1,800 to $4,999 as a part of Federation's new Pomegranate program.
Mazal Tov to our Women's Philanthropy Co-Chairs Barbara Blumberg and Dorothy Bobman and the entire event committee!
