The Pomegranate — a whole newlevel <strong>of</strong> givingThe new Pomegranate level and the pin worn by it’s membershave been specially created for women who help the <strong>Jewish</strong>community with an individual minimum gift <strong>of</strong> $1,800 tothe <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s AnnualCampaign.The pomegranate, one <strong>of</strong> the seven fruits named in the Bible, is saidto contain 613 seeds, one for each <strong>of</strong> the mitzvot or commandmentsfound in the Torah. The ancient symbol was carved in theentranceways <strong>of</strong> the earliest synagogues, woven into fabrics, andhammered into silver and gold. The intricate covers for the handles <strong>of</strong>the Torah scrolls are called “rimonim” or pomegranates.Each woman making an $1,800 annual commitment maypurchase the beautiful sterling silver pin for $150. By wearingthis symbol, we are reminded <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Jewish</strong> lives we haveimproved, rescued and renewed. But, even more, it reminds us <strong>of</strong>the work that is yet to be done.For more information about the Pomegranate level, contactEliza Prince Atias, Assistant Director Women’s Philanthropy,at elizap@bocafed.org or 561.852.3113.Rebecca Appelbaum, inauguralPomegranate ChairBetty Apple, inaugural PomegranatememberMarcy Robbins, inauguralPomegranate memberMonica Goldstein receivedher Pomegranate pin onthe P2K Mission to Israel17Chai Life Ad.indd 211/11/10 12:27 PM

Initially, JAFI’s role was paramount in setting up an economicand cultural infrastructure for the country which was still struggling for survival. Since the fall <strong>of</strong> the IronCurtain in 1989, the <strong>Jewish</strong> Agency has facilitated the absorption <strong>of</strong> over one million new immigrants.Today core funding continues to provide a lifeline to Jews around the world with assistance including:absorption and resettlement <strong>of</strong> new immigrants, establishing global partnerships to strengthen communitiesin Israel, empowering at-risk Israeli youth, educational assistance and scholarships, business loans to createemployment opportunities, counseling for soldiers and civilians suffering from post-traumatic stress andimmediate aid for victims <strong>of</strong> terror.Our <strong>Federation</strong> also supports the following JAFI “elective” programs:P2K-Kiryat Bialik: Partnership 2000 (P2K) links the people and communalorganizations in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>County</strong> with Kiryat Bialik, a city in northernIsrael (“our sister city”). The Partnership creates mutually beneficial relationshipsvia the exchange <strong>of</strong> ideas, cooperation and participation in projects.Summer Camps in FSU: Tens <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> youngsters are introduced to their<strong>Jewish</strong> heritage, connecting them to an Israel experience and a sense <strong>of</strong> belonging.From a peak <strong>of</strong> 15,000 participants in 2003, that number dropped to 5,000 in2009, a decrease <strong>of</strong> 65% due to the economic recession. This year, our <strong>Federation</strong>’sfunding will allow about 170 children from Georgia to participate in a seven-daysummer camp session which is supported almost exclusively through elective funding.MASA Israel Journey: MASA seeks to establish a new norm in the <strong>Jewish</strong> community– to send large numbers <strong>of</strong> college graduates and young pr<strong>of</strong>essionals to Israel for a longtermIsrael experience (4-10 months) – indelibly impacting the future <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> life, thestructure <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> communities around the world, and the connection between the nextgeneration <strong>of</strong> young Jews and Israel. This flagship educational program seeks to recruitthousands <strong>of</strong> young Jews from abroad into one <strong>of</strong> 160 long-term programs in Israel.Ben Yakir Youth Aliyah Village: Provides a warm, religiously-oriented home andschool environment more than 120 boys at-risk— the majority <strong>of</strong> whom are Ethiopianimmigrants ages 12-18. They are given food, shelter, clothing, medical care, as wellas educational and therapeutic services. All activities are designed to foster selfconfidence,academic achievement and leadership skills with the goal <strong>of</strong> successfullyintegrating these youngsters into Israeli society.Nativ Immigrant Soldier Identity Program: A comprehensive educationalprogram that bolsters immigrant soldiers’ sense <strong>of</strong> connection with Israel andtheir <strong>Jewish</strong> heritage. Many <strong>of</strong> these soldiers are not recognized as Jews by thegovernmental and rabbinic agencies <strong>of</strong> Israel. This seven-week program enrichestheir knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> history and tradition. An extension is available to helpthose interested to prepare for formal conversion to Judaism.O“PWcthsthinawFinpwpJecJDliAsfaaEPEtoreaCainCasm

The <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>County</strong> has become a co-sponsor <strong>of</strong> theIsrael Action Network, an initiative <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong>s <strong>of</strong>North America (JFNA) in cooperation with the <strong>Jewish</strong> Council forPublic Affairs (JCPA).The Israel Action Network is a major continental initiative toprotect Israel against a vicious campaign that seeks to isolatethe <strong>Jewish</strong> state in the international arena, and which utilizesboycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) as its principal tools.The Israel Action Network, in concert with the JFNA and the JCPA,will help prepare communities address urgent situations, and todevelop long-term strategies to promote a fair and balancedunderstanding <strong>of</strong> Israel and Middle East issues.“Our <strong>Federation</strong> board has enthusiastically endorsed and committedfunds to support this new JFNA program to counter assaultson Israel’s legitimacy,” said Cindy Orbach Nimhauser, BoardChair <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>County</strong>. “Thisinitiative will provide powerful resources to maximize our effectivenessand impact. A unified voice and broad coordinated effortsare vital to combat negative messages and activities, and tobuild and maintain support for Israel at this time.”“Delegitimization <strong>of</strong> the State <strong>of</strong> Israel is one <strong>of</strong> the most seriousand critical challenges facing the <strong>Jewish</strong> state and its supporterstoday,” said Kathy Manning and Jerry Silverman, chairand president/CEO, respectively, <strong>of</strong> JFNA. “The anti-Israel activistsand groups may be transitioning their focus away from thebattlefield to the boardroom, but their ultimate goal remains thesame – the destruction <strong>of</strong> Israel. This is not simply about criticizingparticular Israeli policies. It is existential. We cannot allowthem to continue to bear false witness against Israel.”“Our advantage in this effort is our ability to leverage the <strong>Federation</strong>s’and JCRCs’ unique community-based infrastructure andrelationships throughout the broader society,” said Dr. ConradGiles and Rabbi Steve Gutow, chair and president, respectively,<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Jewish</strong> Council for Public Affairs. “We will be able tomobilize and affirmatively lead the conversation, exposing thereal goal <strong>of</strong> the anti-Israel activists.”Department <strong>of</strong>Special Needs2nd Annual Family DaySunday, February 13 , 2011Disabilities know no economic or administrativeboundaries and neither shouldtheir responses.
