A whirlwind visit in Indianapolis with the Israeli contingent. Michelle, Michele, Elan, Lian and others have planned and executed a great introduction for the Israelis to the world of Jewish communities – understanding the Jewish Federation, agencies and the people that make them work.

Wonderful dinners and opportunities to meet staff and lay people to share and understand what drives us to do what we do! Four of the Israeli contingent are first timers in the USA!

Arrived in South Bend – the bags are ready and thank you to all the staff and lay people in South Bend who have been working hard to prepare. Ready to welcome all of you on Sunday morning.

Moving into The Partnership Center beginning on July 22… its happening!

Preparing for the Ribbon Cutting ceremony- proofreading signs, creating a “Partnership creative opportunity”, etc.

Met the COL participants from South Bend. They are excited to come and be part of this first -time initiative. Now is the time to be recruiting your  Community Opinion Leader. Questions? Ask Heidi! heidib@jafi.org

Thank you Danit for a great Newsletter. If you did not receive it in your email today, let me know!

Next week we will be hosting in the Western Galilee: the Simon Family from Indianapolis and the Momentum (JWRP) women from Austin while we are meeting in South Bend!

Shabbat Shalom,
