  • Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide
    Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide Opening Plenary Sponsored by to Find Common Ground Lynn and Les Bider Jodie and Steven Fishman Andrea and Glenn Sonnenberg Closing Plenary Sponsored by Sunday, January 26, 2020 Lori and Rob Goodman Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide to Find Common Ground Stephen Wise Temple is excited to host the first Southern California Z3 Conference. In a time of growing disconnect between the American Jewish community and Israel, Z3 provides a means through which the dialogue and mutual interdependence can be strengthened. We are two vibrant centers of Jewish life and our different yet complementary trajectories along the continuum of Jewish living provides each of our communities with strengths and insights that benefit us both. After 71 years of existence, the State of Israel has reached a population of seven million which is roughly equal to the size of the American Jewish community. The dynamic of the movement of immigrants back and forth (by choice) reveals that both nations provide both their Jewish inhabitants with meaningful and secure homes. At the same time, the episodic resurgence of tensions and the associated insecurity reminds us that ultimately we need each other. And yet, Jewish life is not just about responding to threats. Our communities possess vast resources of talent, wisdom, innovation, and are highly educated. We have the capacity to collectively solve the challenges of our world even as we build Jewish life. Z3 is about searching for ways that we can share our strengths, leverage our vast resources, and secure Jewish life for the foreseeable future.

We thank this Our Family Coalition member for agreeing to write about his experience as one part of a separated gay couple with a child. He agreed in the spirit of helping other parents and children facing a family breakup to envision some more positive outcomes, and to fi nd good tools and assistance. His story does not address other aspects of separation and divorce like economic issues of child support or alimony, abusive relationships, or the eff ect of being registered domestic partners.

  • FJC Summer Camps Study.Indd
    The Foundation for Jewish Camping is the central address for information about, and advocacy for, non-profit Jewish overnight camps, providing leadership, expertise and financial resources to camps, campers and their families across North America. Created in 1998 by a husband and wife team of philanthropists, Robert Bildner and Elisa Spungen Bildner provided seed money to launch the first public foundation dedicated solely to the Jewish overnight camp movement. FJC serves more than 130 Jewish summer camps, 60,000 campers and 12,000 counselors in North America and has moved the importance of the Jewish summer camp experience to the forefront of the North American Jewish community’s agenda. It is our mission to increase the number of Jewish children attending Jewish summer camps. Over the next five years we aim to triple our investment in Jewish camping by fulfilling our compelling vision of systemic change for the field. From bunk counselor to top leadership, camp professionals need to be supported with training and development. The Cornerstone Fellowship the Executive Leadership Institute are signature programs that nurture leadership skills and teach professionals to usher Judaism into camp life in fresh, meaningful ways. FJC is committed to employing concise marketing and public relations strategies, developed through research, to attract the entire Jewish community to go to and support summer camp: families, synagogues, schools and businesses, private foundations and philanthropists. By finding out exactly what children and their families want from camp — such as new camps in underserved regions or specialty camps for sports, computers, the arts, or science — FJC can better promote interest and increase participation in Jewish overnight summer camps.
