The Charlotte Jewish News - March 2010 - Page 4 ^ Federation Campaign Testimonial y Jeff Epstein: My Passion is JCRC. What’s Yours? By Jeff Epstein As a Jew in Charlotte, I am ^ proud of the religious and cul- ^ tural facilities we have built to enrich our lives.

These institutions are also tools that allow us to inter act with and influence the greater community. Among these are the Jewish Community Relations Council, a project of the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte. I have long had a personal interest in bringing information from the Jewish community to others, and the JCRC is the perfect vehicle. With its mem bers representing our major institutions, JCRC builds rela tionships with the greater Charlotte community. Funds from the Federation annual campaign help make this all possible. For example, our Lunch at the Park program invites repre sentatives of Charlotte’s politi cal, governmental, educational and cultural institutions to Shalom Park for lunch and the opportunity to leam more about each other These occasions for starting or enhancing relation ships have paid tremendous dividends, such as the Superintendent of Union County Schools’ personal involvement in making princi pals and teachers aware of Jewish holidays and scheduling issues; our mayoral debate last fall which was attended by 300 people and, in cooperation with WBTV, broadcast live across the region; the publication of multiple columns and extensive news coverage favorable to our community and Israel. Indeed, the Charlotte Observer now consults us for guidance on these subjects. None of this would be possi ble without the resources of the Federation which makes our Jeff Epstein support for the annual campaign so important. My passion is the JCRC; yours may be something entirely different. Regardless, the Federation is the vehicle that makes it all possible. Please support the Federation annual campaign. ^ JEWISH^ FEDE^RATI0N5 OF grcater Charlotte Local, Global, Eternal i i I i i The JFS Food Pantry provides food, personal care items and other necessities to help individuals and families through difficult times until independence is re-established.
