Greetings!
This week started with a PJ Library book reading at the Delaware Children's Museum with more than 60 attendees. That afternoon, the Siegel JCC hosted Camp JCC Day! as well as the Jewish Historical Society of Delaware's (JHSD) Annual Meeting and " Jewish Musical Heritage in Delaware" program. It was quite a busy Sunday! Earlier this week we also went to press with the May issue of the Jewish VOICE, highlighting Israel@64. Please look for printed copies in your mailbox this weekend and you can also view a digital copy online through our website, ShalomDelaware.org, early next week. On Thursday, the Albert Einstein Academy (AEA) held its Evening of the Arts, showcasing the work of our talented AEA students. Today ends the first full week in our new offices at the Weinberg Campus on Garden of Eden Road. Being able to see so many members of our vibrant community on the campus throughout the week (a complete age continuum from baby to bubbe) captures the essence of how Federation and our beneficiary agencies touch so many lives and that we are truly Improving Our World...TOGETHER.Shabbat Shalom.Seth J.

Try a Jewish Camp This Summer
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. Click here for more information. |
