LEADING THE WAY TO YOUR SUCCESS
Jewish Community Center The
Jewish Federation enables more
people to affiliate Jewishly than
ever before. While working
hard to sustain the Jewish agen
cies in our area, we have also
pushed to enhance our impact -
locally and abroad. We are
proud of the many accomplish
ments that establish the
Federation as the center of our
community’s philanthropy. We
are enormously grateful to our
leaders, volunteers, staff, agen
cies and synagogues. Without
them, we could not succeed. We
are most thankful to our donors,
whose vision, philanthropy and
commitment drive all that we
do to build a strong and vibrant
Jewish community.
Preceding the meeting was a
moving ceremony in observance
of Yom Flazikaron followed by
a special Community Yom
Fla’atzmaut (Independence
Day) Concert, featuring Israeli
Musical Group, Kolot. This
year in addition to celebrating
Israel’s 61st, we also commem
orated the centennial anniver
sary of the founding of Tel Aviv,
the Middle East’s highest-rank-
ing world city. Over 200 people
were clapping and dancing in
the aisles as KOLOT enter
tained them with traditional
Jewish and contemporary
Israeli music. ^
