Greensboro The Greensboro Jewish Federation is proud to have 44 Lions of Judah dedicated to making a difference in Greensboro, in Israel and around the world. The Greensboro Lion of Judah program has welcomed one new Lion so far in the 2010 Campaign and one new endowed LOJE gift. The Greensboro Lions take great pride in seeing one of their own, Kathy Manning, become chair of the Board of Directors of The Jewish Federations of North America. On November 5, 2009, Greensboro Lions and the Ben Gurion Society (men giving $10K and above) welcomed Israeli Minister of Welfare and Social Services Isaac Herzog at a private lunch and leadership briefing chaired by long-time Lion Joy Shavitz. Minister Herzog, who was joined by his wife, Michal, enhanced our understanding of the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora. Campaign chairs shared their "case for giving" and the event saw many increased gifts, proving that donors are continuing to stretch to help make the 2010 GJF Campaign a successful one.
