Friend!
Good morning. This past Sunday morning I attended University of Delaware Hillel's Board Retreat at the Kristol Center. It was nice seeing familiar faces as well as meeting some new faces including student leadership. We are most appreciative of the continued success and growth of UD Hillel in inspiring Jewish life on campus as well as forging a firm foundation for building tomorrow's leaders today.

This past Sunday our PJ Library held its annual Apples & Honey & Hayride program at Linvilla Orchards. The sold out program included hay rides and other interactive family engagement activities. It proved to be a great way of celebrating the New Year TOGETHER!
On Monday evening, Federation's Jewish Community Relations Committee and the Wilmington Chapter of Hadassah, co-sponsored the Canidates Forum in the Siegel JCC auditorium. It was the first public debate since the Delaware primary election. Special thanks to Michael Sigman for moderating, JCRC Co-Chairs, John Elzufon and Jenn Steinberg, Hadassah's Laura Michelle Kaplan, as well as JCRC Director, Rabbi Ellen Bernhardt, for their efforts in coordinating this bi-annual event.
We went to press with the October issue of
j-VOICE Monthly
on Tuesday, our
Simchas & Celebrations
issue. Our award-winning publication has become our primary communication vehicle in conjunction with our
j-VOICE Weekly
email update.
I hope you had an easy and meaningful fast on Yom Kippur. The
tekiyah gedola
h calls us to look forward with hope for the promise of what the New Year holds. Perhaps, contained in that long blast is the power of possibility. May each of us reflect on how we continue to be our best selves this year and the power of working together to build community.
Please be reminded that Federation will be closed on Monday, September 24th and Tuesday, September 25th in observance of Sukkot.
We Grow Stronger TOGETHER.
Shabbat Shalom
and
