Incredibly, this initiative had a grassroots St. Paul community start. The Girls on the Run team at Horace Mann school decided to raise funds to help kids like them and their families from Ukraine who have recently arrived in Minnesota. They organized a bake sale where they made an impressive number of treats and sold them after school. Through their efforts, they raised a total of nearly $1,000!
We are grateful for the girls at Horace Mann school, and we hope to boost their efforts to ensure every child has school supplies. Refugee children will arrive throughout the year and need school materials all year. We are dedicated to helping refugee families feel welcomed and supported as our new neighbors. Please consider a gift.
RAJMN is the only Jewish-Russian program for young families in Minnesota, working to connect them to the larger Jewish community in Twin Cities and provide a deeper understanding of Judaism and Russian-Jewish roots and culture since 2003. They serve as a bridge to other Jewish organizations, connecting Russian-American Jews to synagogues, Jewish schools, programs in Israel, Jewish summer camps, and other programs as needed.

04 | Gimel Society Spotlight |
|
This Gimel Society Highlight features Barbara Klick, RN, MBA - Chief Executive Officer of Sholom. We asked Barbara what the Jewish community means to her and why she joined the Gimel Society.
"We are all just walking each other home." -said Ram Dass. We need to lean into each other during good times and bad. We need each other. The pandemic really tested everyone, and the silver lining for me was to see how much our community rallied around Sholom. We would not have gotten through the pandemic without the support of our community." - Barbara Klick, RN, MBA - CEO of Sholom
We are grateful to the 122 generous community members who already invested in the future of our Jewish community by making a three-year increasing commitment. If you want to learn more or join the Gimel Society, contact Dan Mogelson at 651-695-3185.

For decades, The Jewish Agency has sent Israeli emissaries (Shlichim) to Jewish communities around the globe to foster connections with Israel.
But what about the other way around?
A new Partnership2Gether initiative, P2G Fellows, will do just that: send young American Jews to communities in Israel to serve as emissaries and help Israelis connect with world Jewry.
