Dallas Federation Marks Century of Service
The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas will mark its 100th anniversary with a citywide day of community service.
The Got Mitzvah? Day will involve some 3,000 local residents who are set to collectively volunteer on Oct. 30 at more than 70 area community locations, including shelters, hospitals, schools and non-profit organizations.
“There is no better way to represent the noble work of our hundred-year history in Dallas than to bring so many people together to help others,” said Susan Kramer, the federation’s president and chief executive officer.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
