The JUF Annual Campaign is the foundational com- munity component of JUF/Federation’s multi-faceted financial resource development efforts, which secured $379,411,478 in total revenue in FY2018. In addition to donations from individuals and corporate partners, this total includes grants from foundations, the government and United Way, plus distributions from Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Foundations. It also includes generous bequests and endowment gifts which will support the Jewish community in the years to come. This incredible generosity from our community made possible the allocation of $229,871,044 during the fis- cal year ended June 30, 2018.

True intersectionality calls for members of marginalized communities—such as people of color, women and individuals who identify as LGBTQ—to lift each other up through cooperative action. Sadly, on some campuses and civic spaces, the concept is being perverted to demonize Israel and exclude Jewish stu- dents from many conversations. Under this construct, pro-Israel voices are seen as antithetical to progressive causes and Jewish students epitomize white privilege. Despite these disturbing realities, there was still good news on campus in 2018.

These 70 years have been challenging and inspiring, terrifying and triumphant, heartbreaking and hopeful. Israel has emerged as a vibrant democracy with a flour- ishing society and a mind-boggling number of advances in technology, science and medicine to her credit. But the harsh reality is that throughout these seven de- cades, Israel has never experienced uninterrupted peace. With enemies bent on destroying the world’s only Jewish State, the attacks continue to this day. The battle to defend Israel takes place at borders, in the air, underground, in the court of public opinion, at the United Nations and, increasingly, on college campuses.

An outgrowth of Oneida Cockrell's pioneering pre-school and kindergarten, the Howalton Day School (1947-1986) was founded by three black educators: June Howe- White, Doris Allen-Anderson, and Charlotte B. Stratton. The name of the school is from a combination of the founders' three last names.

The purpose of this humanities-based study is to evaluate how the American public broadcasting system has traditionally served children, how it currently fulfills that role, and finally to propose a new approach to children's public broadcasting that is more democratic and attentive to children’s interests. American broadcasting developed as a series of compromises amongst ideologically-opposed voters and organizations. Further, public broadcasters are reliant on private donors, thus diluting the democratic quality of their programming. The author argues that this paradigm violates children’s rights. The unsatisfied adult consumer of public broadcasting has political recourse by which they can attempt to influence regulations that affect public broadcasting.
