Community Engagement Opportunities!

From Jewish Family Services

Our New Technologies Concierge Service!
Having Tech trouble? As we continue to face uncertainty and need to physically distance from one another, current technology like Facebook and Zoom on computers and smartphones are good options for staying connected with friends and family.
The problem? Many of us don’t have experience using this technology, and need help getting started.
The solution? JFS volunteers are ready to call and help “talk through” things like downloading, installing and using these programs. If you would like a call and some “tech help,” please contact Rowan at 574-309-1213 or rkelley@thejewishfed.org, and a volunteer will call you and help talk you through it.
Attention Film Fans!
The Jewish Federation and our partner the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center are beginning to plan the 2021 Michiana Jewish Film Festival!

If you are interested in serving on the 2021 Michiana Jewish Film Festival committee please contact Sheri Alpert at sheria@thejewishfed.org or 574-233-1164 x 1820.
