"Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is."
~ Seth Godin
On Monday evening, Federation hosted Professor Pedro Berliner, Director of the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, for an intimate discussion. Through the Goldinger Trust, Federation's Jewish Fund for the Future (JFF) provides generous grants for agricultural-based research projects in Israel. Thanks to the JFF Grants Committee and Chair, Stuart Nemser, for their ongoing guidance and counsel.
On Wednesday, I met with Federation's Israel & Overseas Committee Co-chairs, Michelle Margules and Lelaine Nemser, to formalize plans for our community Yom Ha'Atzmaut Celebration. We plan on screening the Delaware premiere of Hunting Elephants, the acclaimed 2013 Israeli crime comedy film directed by Reshef Levi. It stars, among others, Sasson Gabai, Moni Moshonov and Patrick Stewart.
We also went to press this week on our expanded April edition of the Jewish VOICE. Please expect printed editions delivered to your homes early next week and you can view our online digital e-dition here. There is still time to register for our Women of Wisdom (WOW) Event on Tuesday, April 1st featuring Amy Hirshberg Lederman, award-winning "Chicken Soup" series author, nationally syndicated columnist, educator and attorney. Click here to register online today for what will certainly be an evening to remember. Thanks to WOW Committee Co-Chairs, Carolyn Glazer-Hockstein and Amy Crain Sternberg, as well as the WOW Committee.
TOGETHER We Do Extraordinary Things.
Shabbat Shalom,
Seth J. Katzen

Persistence. The Blossoming of Israel. People To People International/Delaware Chapter Tuesday, April 8, 2014 Cokesbury Village, Main Auditorium 7:00 PM
Presented by John Elzufon, Esq.,
Chair of the Jewish Community Relations Committee, Jewish Federation of Delaware "There's been nothing like it in human history. A small and ancient people loses its land and forgets how to speak its language; wanders defenselessly for hundreds, thousands, of years throughout the world with its God and its sacred books; meets with persecution, violence, dispossession, banishment, mass murder; refuses to give up; refuses to surrender its faith; continues to believe that it will one day be restored to the land it lost; manages in the end, by dint of its own efforts, against all odds, to gather itself from the four corners of the earth and return to that land; learns again to speak the language of its old books; learns again to bear arms and defend itself; wrests its new-old home from the people who had replaced it; entrenches itself; builds; fructifies; fortifies; repulses the enemies surrounding it; grows and prospers in the face of all threats."Please join People To People for a 30-45 minute presentation on Israel's agricultural developments, medical & IT technologies, social aspects, diversity, education, culture, religious expression, and form of government/ democracy. Question & answer session to follow as well as light refreshments.Event Details: Title: The Blossoming of Israel Cost: Event is Free & Open to the Public Date: Tuesday April 8th, 2014
