Message from the Chief Executive Officer...
|
This past Sunday evening I had the pleasure of attending an Emerging Leadership Project (ELP) session on Community Engagement. ELP is a new Federation initiative this year whose mission is to identify, engage, educate and prepare the most prominent young Jewish leaders of the community to assume leadership roles in the Jewish community.
It was quite an amazing experience to have clergy representing five area congregations sitting at the same table with our young leaders discussing their respective movements as well as the local history of their congregations. Our sincere thanks to Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth, Chabad of Delaware, Congregation Beth Emeth, Congregation Beth Shalom and Temple Beth El for their insight and collaboration in building community.
Our community has a wonderful opportunity to experience the invaluable collaboration and partnership we have with our synagogues this evening for Federation Shabbat at Congregation Beth Emeth. A PJ Library program will begin at 5:45pm and services at 8:00pm.
With the strength of a people and the power of community, we are Improving Our World...TOGETHER.
Shabbat Shalom
