Important Message From The Jewish
Federation in the Heart of New Jersey
A community member recently received
a $1,000 grant to attend a Jewish overnight camp this coming summer as a
result of a program provided by the

the generosity of their donors, many of
whom belong to Congregation Ohav
Emeth. We ask that you join them in
supporting the Federation's work - so
that opportunities like these continue to
exist for other Jewish children. In addition to Federation's partnership with
the Foundation for Jewish Camp and its
One Happy Camper program, Federation invests in equally powerful programs that inspire our youth in a variety
of ways including Israel Teen Grants,

Father’s Day Blood Drive
The temperatures have finally started to
rise, and matzoh is but a memory for
now. Mothers have been celebrated,
and Shavu'ot will be over in May. What
shall we do with June? Bleed our fathers dry, I say! No, not with camp/
tuition bills, but by participating in the
Fathers Day blood drive on Sunday,
June 21. Sure, it's not like going to a ball
game or a barbecue, but you get to relax and lie down while giving, and there
are snacks. Bring dad, and we'll try to
arrange simultaneous donations. Now
that's a fulfilling way to spend part of
the day! The blood drive will be held at
Congregation Ahavas Achim, 216 S. First
Ave. in Highland Park. Babysitting is
available, and we'll even watch your dad
for you. For more information, please
contact Ira Rosen at 732-393-1018 or
[email protected]. You can also
call my dad if you'd like - he'll completely endorse this endeavor - he
gives blood more than anyone I know.
