related social services for the community’s children in need, young families, and others who have been thrust into poverty by job loss or severely reduced incomes.
Develop tomorrow’s Jewish leaders by offering scholarships to children whose families are no longer able to afford Jewish day school tuition due to their financial hardship, and subsidizing the participation of young Greek Jews in regional leadership retreats and Jewish camp programs, thereby ensuring a future cadre of spirited and informed young leaders for the community.
