COMMUNITY NEWS

The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia mobilizes
financial and volunteer resources to address the
communities’ most critical priorities locally, in Israel and
around the world.

Main Event a Jewish Community Cornerstone

AS WE HEAD INTO A NEW YEAR, the Jewish
Federation’s Main Event is always something
Greater Philadelphia’s Jewish community looks
forward to attending. It’s a chance for all of us
to come together to reconnect and celebrate and
provide support for our communities. But this
year, like everything else in our lives, it’s going to
be just a little bit different.
On Sept. 16, Greater Philadelphia’s Jewish
community will be coming together, virtually,
for an exciting new twist on the Main Event. At
1:00 p.m., guests will join a complimentary event
via Zoom to see their Philadelphia-area friends
and help us kick off our 2021 Annual Campaign.
We will then connect with Jewish Federations
from across North America for a program filled
with inspiration, storytelling and entertainment.
Best of all? The program will feature celeb-
rity guests Eugene, Dan and Sarah Levy from
Emmy-nominated “Schitt’s Creek.”
For this year’s Main Event, bringing co-Chairs
Susan and Jeff Schwartz and Lisa and Brett Studner
on board was the key to success.
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work
with the Studners and Schwartzes to bring
something that has purpose in helping our
community but also connecting us and bringing a The 2020 Main Event co-Chairs from left: Jeffrey Schwartz, Susan Schwartz, Lisa Studner and Brett Studner Photo by Bob Aerenson
