Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton

In the course of five hours today, I had three meetings which focused on the challenges of finding time on the community calendar in which an event or program isn’t already taking place.

I am heartened to know that Federations are working day and night to act as a beacon of light in the midst of this dark time.

The WHIM will be back at the end of the month ~ L’Shanah Tovah!

Last week, I was perusing through the TV guide. As I scanned through the titles, I came across one that immediately grabbed my attention ~ GI Jews.

In my lifetime so far, I have relocated to seven new cities. I have enjoyed the exploration and discovery of each new place with all the culture, physical beauty, new climates, etc.

Our 2018 Annual Meeting took place last night. It was a wonderful evening.

I’ve read many articles throughout the years about what activities have the biggest impact on one’s Jewish identity. Not surprisingly, summer camp is toward the top of the list.

When I moved to Dayton almost 6 years ago, I was amazed at all of the wonderful things our city has to offer. Admittedly one of the things that surprised me most was our baseball team.

Having grown up in a household where Federation was an integral part of my life, it seemed only natural that as an adult, I myself would become immersed in Jewish communal work.

I can’t think of any book in my young adulthood that had more impact on my life than The Jewish Catalog.
