This past Sunday, Federation's PJ Library held a story telling program at the Delaware Children's Museum. Story teller Ellie Alexander entertained the children with a reading of The Only One including a fun activity and after-event enjoyment at the DCM.

On Wednesday, Federation Beneficiary Agency, the Albert Einstein Academy, presented a student production of Moishe's Miracle in the Siegel JCC auditorium. It was wonderful to see more than 50 students performing and entertaining family, friends and community members. Congratulations to Head of School, Michal Cherrin and staff for producing such a wonderful and engaging performance.

Yesterday, Federation leadership had an opportunity to meet Yaron Sideman, the new Consul General of Israel to the Mid-Atlantic Region, serving Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Kentucky and Southern New Jersey.

And this Saturday night, Federation's Young Leadership Division is having their Latkes Vodka and Tzedakah event at the Siegel JCC. Walk-ins are welcome so we hope to see you there!


Shabbat Shalom

When you get involved with YLD, your interests, your passions, and your actions have a hand in making a difference locally and around the world.   

We are grateful to have the ongoing support of Delaware's rabbis, cantors, agency executives and lay professionals, who get together every year to celebrate Federation Shabbat as one unified Jewish community.
