    I am thrilled to welcome you to Hillel International’s fi rst annual Global Assembly. I am excited for what the next days will bring, and grateful that you could join us to participate in this important convening. The decision to hold a professional gathering is not a new one—years ago, Hillel professionals would gather annually to meet one another and create the vision for the year ahead. When I started my tenure as President of Hillel International, I knew that we must bring back this type of convening. This year, we gather for the fi rst time as a truly global movement, and notably, the largest gathering of Hillel professionals in history. This Hillel International: Global Assembly gives us an opportunity to refl ect on how we have grown in the past year, to celebrate the great work that many of our colleagues have been doing on campus and in the community, to think critically and thoughtfully about our goals for the year ahead, and most importantly to learn from each other. While we are all together, I encourage you to meet with many of your peers and share the exciting activities that are taking place on campus. Informal and interpersonal education has proven to be a critical source of learning, and Hillel International: Global Assembly has included a number of peer-to-peer networking sessions for that very purpose. I cannot wait to begin our time together in Orlando, and I look forward to seeing many of you over the course of the next few days. B’shalom, Eric Fingerhut Hillel International: Global Assembly 1 THANKS Educational Workshops

  • Jewish Federation of Reading Student Camp and Education Awards
    Jewish Federation of Reading Student Camp and Education Awards For several years, Jewish Federation of Reading has provided monetary awards to children who attended Jewish summer camp and to support students studying abroad in Israel or participating in a number of Jewish sponsored high school education programs in Israel. Last year, a committee was formed to help put into place a structure for the award offerings. Thanks to the work of the Educational Committee, the Federation is proud to offer Jewish children/students, who are residents of our Berks County Jewish community, monetary awards to help support their participation in programs that nurture Jewish identity, leadership and connections with their culture, history and Israel. Working together with our families and thanks to your campaign support, our Jewish community can help its children grow and discover a deep-seated and profound sense of what it means to them to be a Jew while learning about themselves and the world. If you have questions pertaining to your child/children’s eligibility for any of the offerings below, please do not hesitate to contact William D. Franklin at the Federation office – 610- 921-0624. Are you interested in helping send a camper to Jewish camp or support a student as they pursue academic study and explore their Jewish culture abroad?
