Last week, all of the CEOs from Jewish Federations in Southern New England had a full day retreat and board meeting with Maya Shoham, our Israel based Director of the Alfula-Gilboa and Southern New England Consortium Partnership (often referred to as Partnership2Gether), and with Jill Abel, the U.S. Coordinator of the Partnership. On the next day, we were pleased that Maya and Jill took the time to visit the Federation office to meet with staff and lay leaders. We had to the chance to talk about future projects for our Partnership, to learn about the activities of the Jewish Agency for Israel in responding to the Ukraine crisis and to be briefed on the recent string of terror attacks in Israel.
