JFNA briefing, leadership phon-a-thon kick off Super Sunday/Super Week
|
|
This year’s Super Sunday/Super Week events actually kicked off a full week earlier than usual, as Federation and agency board members gathered for a leadership briefing from David M. Mallach, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) vice president and executive vice chairman of United Israel Appeal/IEF. Mallach’s talk was followed by a leadership phon-a-thon that raised $94,000 for JFund, formerly known as the Annual Campaign.
“Without what you do, what I do would not exist,” Mallach told those gathered in the Katz JCC’s Family Activity Center on Sunday, Jan. 22. “We at the United Israel Appeal are instrumentalities of the Federation system,” he said.
