"We are still here. And no matter what, we shall continue to be here to tell people so they can learn from our history." ~Elie Wiesel

Greetings!

Yesterday, I attended a very meaningful Yom Hashoah program in observance of Holocaust Day of Remembrance. More than 140 people were in attendance including Mayor Baker, Lt. Governor Denn, Attorney General Biden and our local clergy. The program was coordinated by the Halina Wind Preston Holocaust Education Center, sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

Shabbat Shalom,

Seth J. Katzen
Chief Executive Officer

Jewish Overnight Summer Camp

The Delaware One Happy Camper Program provides grants to encourage children to attend overnight Jewish camp for the first-time. It is not a scholarship fund and is not needs-based. Our goal is to engage families who are considering sending their children to camp and, in effect, to give them $1,000 off their camp fee to try a Jewish one.
