I was there for about a year and a half, and then I came to [Jobs for the Future]. I work on their post- secondary team – their work focuses mostly on educational pathways and making sure that students attain credentials that support family-sustaining careers. My team helps to develop services that can train community college administrators on working better with students on providing those financial supports. WHAT HAVE YOU TAKEN AWAY FROM WORKING IN THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD? I really believe that people are lifelong learners, no matter whether they’re current students or not, and I think we absolutely need to be throwing all our energy and resources at public institutions, because they’re really the lifeblood of our democracy. Educated citizens are good citizens, and they make well-informed decisions. I think that access to education is hugely important – it’s important for equity, it’s important to make sure we have a strong workforce, and it’s important to build movement for people who otherwise have these economic barriers to move into the middle and the upper classes. But I am hopeful – I think people take education more seriously today, I think people take teaching more seriously today. I hope that public school teachers are respected for the tremendous work that they do. They’re probably the people in this country who have the hardest jobs of anyone, so even though I’m not a public school teacher, I have so much respect for them. – Michael Wittner THE JEWISH JOURNAL – JEWISHJOURNAL.ORG – MAY 30, 2019 3

ADL New England honors those who lead the fight against hate

Lowy said. “We tend to live in political echo chambers, where we only read and discuss issues with people who we agree with and jump to collective conclu- sion about those who we don’t.” “Acrimony and incivility” is “driving people away from participating in democratic governments,” as well as “coming between friends, and fracturing families,” the judge added.

Even though Salem financial adviser Dan Brothers had never met Stern, he was so impressed by all Stern did that five years ago, he decided to fund a $750 scholarship in his honor.

The Revolution and Chelsea F.C. teamed up for the “Final Whistle on Hate” to highlight the ongo- ing rise of hate crimes around the world and work together to harness the power of sport in bringing people together to tackle hate and prejudice in all its forms.

enschions & Mimosas

M On Sunday, May 19, 200 people attended the Jewish Journal’s “Menschions & Mimosas” brunch at Temple Ner Tamid in Peabody. Neil Donnenfeld, president of the Journal’s Board of OOverseers, served as the morning’s emcee. At the brunch, people feasted on bagels, lox, cream cheese, salads, provided by Larry Levine’s, and sipped mimosas, courtesy of Kappy’s On Call. “The event was more successful than imagined,” said Matthew Swartz, who helped organize the gala and is a member of the Journal’s Board of Overseers. “We felt that there was a strong sense of community there and that people are really committed to seeing the Journal grow and prosper.”
