Good morning! Please find below interesting and relevant article links from this week's current events as well as flyers for upcoming community programs.

Suzy is chairing this important mission as she was recently named JFNA National Campaign Chair, the first Delawarean to receive this honor.

We also wish Robin Kauffman Saran a safe and meaningful journey to Israel this weekend as she is chairing the JFNA Campaigners Mission that immediately follows.Yasher koach to Suzy and Robin for chairing our continental system's two summer missions - your exemplary leadership is being showcased on a national platform.
