Message from the CEO...

Greetings!,      

Good Morning.

This past Sunday our community came together for the Opening Celebration of the Lodge Lane Assisted Living, adjacent to The Kutz Home. This beautiful state-of-the-art facility is a welcome addition to serving the needs of our senior population. Yasher koach to Kutz Home President, Dr. David Driban, and Kutz Home Executive Director, Karen Friedman, and the Lodge Lane Capital Campaign Committee for making this dream become a reality.

On Sunday afternoon, Federation's Young Leadership Division and PJ Library co-sponsored our Apples and Honey event at Linvilla Orchards. More than 50 people came out for an enjoyable afternoon of family fun. Thanks to YLD Director, Julie James, PJ Library Chair, Amie Baker and our YLD Steering Committee for their assistance and support.

On Monday, the October edition of the Jewish VOICE was mailed to donors and subscribers of $36 or more. You can also pick up a free copy at any entrance on the Weinberg Jewish Community Campus, at any synagogue throughout Delaware or you can view the online e-dition by clicking here.

On Tuesday evening, Create A Jewish Legacy held an informative session entitled, Your Jewish Legacy: Delaware's Jewish Future, featuring guest speaker Brian Clontz, CFP. Having our synagogues and beneficiary agencies in attendance made the evening a collaborative effort in ensuring the future of our community.

Special thanks to Create A Jewish Legacy Chair, Richard Levine, CJL Manager, Andrea Bock and Jewish Fund for the Future Director, Richard Nassau for coordinating this two-day opportunity for our community.

Community Journey to Israel
Mission and General Assembly
November 3-13, 2013
Chairs, Lisa Dadone-Weiner and Henry Weiner

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.

 
Travel dates are November 3rd - November 13th, 2013 
 
For this trip, we are fortunate to have Itai Tennanbaum as our guide. Itai was the guide for our community mission to Israel in 1999, and he is well known for making the journey in Israel an emotional, spiritual and educational adventure. 
 

Subsidies for Young Adults are Still Available!

Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Wilmington, is proud to present our Torah Studies catalog of classes for the first season of the new year.

At Chabad, we value a deep, rich learning experience and we aim to provide this in an unequivocal way.

They explore contemporary issues through a Torah perspective as well as tackling timeless questions in the Jewish tradition.

I invite you to join us for some weekly inspirational study. These classes are open to all, whatever your level of learning may be, and we encourage you to bring your friends along.

One hour that will change the rest of your week!
