Cathy’s WHIM – Heartwarming Acts Of Humanity

I do not think anyone could have predicted what our world would look like in 2020 ~ I certainly could not have imagined it. Between the COVID-19 pandemic, racial unrest, and political divisiveness, it can feel incredibly heavy navigating day-to-day life.

I think many of us know that in order for things to get better – across the board – it is up to each of us to do our part. While we don’t all share the same opinion, or agree with each other on a bevy of topics, it is important that we respect one another. In a difficult situation, why behave in a manner that is only going to make things worse? The key is to listen, be open-minded, and be willing to compromise.

However, while all of this may sound ideal, unfortunately it is not our current reality. And sometimes, I just need to get away from reality for a little while. One of my favorite ways to do this is by binging on a good TV show (and maybe some chocolate).

One of my favorite shows to watch is Schitt’s Creek. Created by Dan Levy and his father, Eugene Levy, Schitt’s Creek follows the wealthy Rose family, who lose their fortune and are forced to rebuild their lives in a small town named Schitt’s Creek – their only remaining asset, which Eugene Levy’s character had bought his son as a joke birthday gift years prior.

I bring this up for two reasons – 1. To encourage you to watch the show. This feel-good sitcom will provide you with hours of laughter and smiles as you watch the quirky characters display heartwarming acts of humanity. While it recently ended in April of this year, there are 80 episodes available for you to enjoy! 2. On Wednesday, September 16th from 1:30pm – 2:15pm, Jewish Federations of North America will hold The Communal Kvell. You are invited to join Federation communities from around North America to celebrate and learn just how much of an impact your local gift makes on a global scale, especially during the current crisis. And who are the special guests? They just happen to be Sarah, Dan, and Eugene Levy!!

I hope you can take part in this fun, inspirational event. You can register by clicking here.

Three Years Later
Cathy Gardner

October 7, 2023 is a day we will never forget. Three years after 1,200 people were killed in a Hamas-led attack that also saw 251 people taken hostage, our lives remain forever changed. Initially, the worldwide Jewish community received an outpouring of support. However, over time, some of that support turned into accusations of war crimes and genocide. This opened the door for a wave of antisemitism throughout the diaspora. And now, three years later, we are still fighting for Israel’s right to exist and for Jewish people to live in a world free from fear and persecution. While we...

Let Your Voice Be Heard
Cathy Gardner

If there is one constant in life, it is change. Our interests, wants, and needs often shift with time and circumstances. This is true not only in our individual lives, but also in communities. When the Boonshoft Center for Jewish Culture and Education (CJCE) was built in the early 2000’s, it fulfilled the needs for our community at that time. However, throughout my tenure here, community members have shared with me that they find themselves either needing or desiring different services and amenities than we currently offer. I realize there may be others who share these sentiments. Knowing what people...

Peter Wells

When I first began my position as CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton, I received a phone call from Peter Wells, who served as CEO of the organization from 1978 until his retirement in 2005. He was in town and asked if he could meet with me. What began as a meeting to provide me with insight and information about the Dayton Jewish community quickly morphed into a very special relationship. Peter wasn’t just a professional resource. He was my mentor and a dear friend. He proved to be a wealth of knowledge, helping me to have a...
