Exciting News from Israel!!!

 

 

The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis is excited to inform you that we are currently awaiting a new member to the Indianapolis Jewish community. A young Israeli, straight out of the army, will be joining us in the role of a Community Shaliach (Young Emissary), arriving in August. This is an immeasurable resource to us as he will bring a piece of Israel with him right into our community!

 

The shaliach will organize Jewish/Israeli programming for youth, he will be involved with various community wide projects and holiday events, he will work with college students throughout Indiana and much much more.  We are thrilled with this fantastic opportunity and we hope that everyone will welcome him. 

In order to help our shaliach get around we are looking for a used car (in good working condition). Don’t forget… a donated used car to the Jewish Federation is tax deductible! 

We would really appreciate your help in making this young man feel at home and comfortable in his new environment.  

This is a joint program of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis and JAFI (the Jewish Agency for Israel).

Creating a Legacy

“My father, Joseph Cantor, passed away over 25 years ago, but his name continues to be associated with good works in our community because of his JFGI fund.  It’s nice that he is remembered that way.”        -Dan Cantor

(The Joe Cantor Fund, established in early 1980)
