“The G.A. was a unique oppor-

their perspectives on what it means
to be Jewish,” said Mitch Sterling,
Philadelphia G.A. Recruitment co-

more than 150 Jewish communi-

able to do collectively. At the same
time, breakout sessions and social
gatherings provided an ideal back-
drop to exchange ideas and best
practices. In its totality, the G.A.
experience leaves participants in-
credibly informed and inspired —
and better equipped to make a dif-

An “Amazing” Time in Support of Friendship

The sun was shining brightly on the 850 participants who came out to support the Friendship Circle Philadelphia Region South during its annual Philly Friendship Walk,
held at Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy. The annual event — which supports the Friendship Circle’s goal of connecting teens and young adults to youth with special needs
and their families through a full range of Jewish and social experiences — raised almost $102,000. This year’s theme, “Do Amazing Things,” was brought to life by introducing
participants to new adventures such as ziplining and skateboarding lessons. Musical entertainment was provided by the Baal Shem Tov Chasidic Rock Band.
