Greetings!
More than 13,000 people (including 57 delegates from Delaware) attended the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington DC, March 4-6. The largest gathering in conference history featured President Barack Obama, Israeli President Shimon Peres, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) among others. The theme of the conference, " Shared Vision, Shared Values" wasn't about parties or politics. It was about the safety and security of Israel. To better understand the current issues and implications of a nuclear Iran, please join the Jewish Federation of Delaware's Jewish Community Relations Committee (JCRC) for our next Bagels & Briefings at the Siegel JCC on Monday, April 2 at 8:30 am where we will hear from Seth Mirowitz, Assistant Area Director at AIPAC. Shabbat Shalom,  Seth J. Katzen Chief Executive Officer     PS - Thank you for the wonderful feedback regarding last week's J-VOICE. We are happy to know this vehicle continues to be positively received by the community! |

 Jewish Federations Support Victims of Recent Tornadoes As communities begin to assess the impact of the powerful tornadoes that ripped through the Midwest and South last week, The Jewish Federations of North America is directing support to those affected by the deadly storms.
The Jewish Community of Louisville has opened a Tornado Relief fund to help aid victims in the disaster areas. Donors should send checks to JCL Tornado Relief, 3600 Dutchmans Lane, Louisville, KY 40205. Please indicate Tornado Relief Fund on all checks.
Although no Jewish communities were directly impacted by the tornadoes, and no Jewish institutions were damaged, many Jews are eager to help those who were affected. "Our hearts go out to our neighbors in Southern Indiana who are suffering tremendously in the wake of last week's powerful storms," said Stu Silberman, president and CEO of the Jewish Community of Louisville. "We are honored to play a role in helping restore lives by coordinating relief efforts from Jewish communities around the country."
