Federation's weekly e-news to keep you informed, inspired and connected to Jewish life in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley.
|
|
This morning's edition of J-VOICE is our final blast of 2012 . As we conclude 2012, we wish to thank you for being partners in moving our Jewish community forward in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, in Israel and around the world. As this is typically a time of reflection ( as well as a good mid-year review for us as well), we should also be proud of our myriad achievements because working TOGETHER...We Are Federation.
TOGETHER we work to improve Jewish lives; TOGETHER we feed hungry Jews at home and abroad; TOGETHER we protect at-risk populations in Israel from falling between the cracks of society; TOGETHER we connect Jews with one another and with the greater Jewish world. It is true that each of us can make a difference, acting on our own...But, it's equally true that together we can change the world!With the strength of a people and the power of community, we are Improving Our World...TOGETHER.
We thank the Delaware Jewish community for its support and look forward to all that we can accomplish together in the coming year. Shabbat Shalom Seth J. Katzen
