Greetings!,
Good Morning. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named his top aide, Ron Dermer, to be Israel's new Ambassador to the United States, succeeding Michael Oren on Tuesday. The position is one of Israel's most important diplomatic appointments. "Ron Dermer has all the qualities necessary to successfully fill this important post," Netanyahu said in a statement. "I have known him for many years, and I know that Ron will faithfully represent the State of Israel in the capital of our greatest ally -- the US." Thanks to the due diligence of University of Delaware Hillel Director, Ronit Sherwin, our community will have a new Community Shaliach/Israel Fellow for the next two years. We will formally welcome Adir Ben Tovim to Delaware in August - more exciting news on Adir's pending arrival is coming soon.
For those community members in Rehoboth Beach next week, please join us on Wednesday, July 17th at Browseabout Books for our PJ Library Hits the Beach! This is our second summer in Rehoboth Beach thanks to the ongoing support of Seaside Jewish Community especially the assistance of Religious Leader (and storyteller) Beth Cohen and community leader Marjorie Korbin.
With the strength of a people and the power of community, we are Improving Our World...TOGETHER.
Shabbat Shalom

 Immediately ahead of the 2013 General Assembly in Jerusalem, the Delaware Jewish community will journey to Israel for an amazing mission that will reveal Israel in a new way, forge special connections to the land and people, and provide a deeper understanding of the important work of Federation.
We will then join the GA, where thousands of current and emerging Jewish leaders hear from world-class speakers and learn from each other to shape an even brighter future for Israel and the Jewish people. Please contact Ellisha Caplan for more information.
