Bring Them Home

This Week

It is July and that means a new fiscal year for our Federation has begun. At our annual meeting we welcomed two new board members for the coming year - Ron Weisberger and Myra Goldberg. We said thank you to Carl Superior, Janet Freedman and particularly to Marty Lipman who served as president and treasurer in recent years for their service.

Our small community (while famous for punching above our weight) struggles to attract new volunteers and we are very pleased and grateful for the dedication of our board and the spirit of the new recruits. I look forward to working with them in the coming year.

In the coming days last year's campaign will close and if you have that letter I sent a few weeks ago asking for your support, please send it back now with your pledge or check. The 12-day war with Iran created more needs and our work both locally and abroad depends on your support. I spent two days in Washington last week asking Congress for more support along with members of 85 Jewish communities. We had 200 meetings and I am certain we made a huge impact. With that in mind, let's show them how it's done. Send your donation today or do it online at JewishNewBedford.org.

Ana recently returned from two weeks of volunteer work at the Ukraine border with Poland and shared her experience with us. We had many questions after and she answered all of them.
