New Program: Cafe Ivrit

Saturday, November 19th
from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

The Jewish Federation is renewing the program of "Cafe Ivrit"- an informal opportunity to practice Hebrew in a non intimidating environment. 

Since Efrat Naor was a Hebrew teacher in the army, she gained some experience in practicing Hebrew with new comers, and she really enjoys it- in other words, it will be a great time!

Saturday evening, November 19th, 7:30 to 8:30 PM, at Efrat, the Israeli Shalich's apartment.  Please contact Efrat at [email protected] for further directions.

The Jewish Federation provides programs and services to Jewish communities both locally and internationally. Whether providing social services such as a food pantry for local community members, or assisting Jews in times of crisis internationally, the Jewish Federation is vital to helping Jews in all corners of the globe.

It's your generosity that makes our mission possible.

We invite you to make your 2017 Annual Campaign pledge today to help support your fellow Jews.

Your gift is not due until December 31, 2017 and is tax deductible.

Penn High School will perform The Last Train, a play about The Holocaust on Friday, November 18, 2016 at 7:00 in the Penn High School Center for Performing Arts. The performance of the Penn theater students will be inspired in part by the first hand account of internment in a concentration camp from Holocaust survivor, Eva Kor, who spoke at Penn last Spring. We so appreciate the generous support of the Jewish Federation for making that presentation possible.

The Last Train , written by R. James Scott tells the story of two German soldiers and their individual actions and decisions in the final moments of the war as allied forces intercede. This is a poignant, unsettling and profoundly moving drama. We want to extend a personal invitation to all members of the Jewish Federation in appreciation of our ongoing partnership and continued partnership to teach and spread tolerance throughout the Michiana Community.
