another. We began our journey at the Hall of Independ-
ence, standing at the spot where David Ben-Gurion pro-
claimed Israel a State in 1948, then had a private meeting
with Michael Oren, member of the Knesset and former
Israeli Ambassador to the United States.

The next day, we had the privilege of traveling north
by helicopter to the Golan and visiting the Israel Defense
Forces’ Alpine Elite Unit at the top of Mount Hermon,
overlooking Syria at Israel’s highest point. This was an
eye-opening visit as we learned about one of Israel’s most
complex borders.

Each day was filled with highlights, including a visit
to the Jewish Federation’s partnership region, Netivot/Se-
dot Negev, where we toured an organic farm dangerously
located just half a kilometer from the Gaza border. The
people who work these fields and live in this region truly
are heroes. This region has been the target of terror attacks
from Gaza and the people who live there are on constant
alert, but they must continue to lead their lives, including
working that farmland so close to the border.

The group was able to visit with the elite 669 search-
and-rescue unit, and then we had the privilege of visiting
the Nevatim Air Force Base and taking part in an incredible
ceremony honoring Jill and Mark Fishman, as a new club-
house was dedicated in honor of Annabelle and Bernard
Fishman. The Bernard Fishman Israel Mission Fund makes
this trip possible and it meant a great deal not only to be
able to spend time in Israel with Mark Fishman, but also
to participate in the ribbon cutting and dedication with
hundreds of children living at the Nevatim base.

No trip to Israel is complete without visiting Jerusalem.
We saw Yad Vashem, the Kotel and the Jewish Quarter ….

Experiencing Israel with such an incredible group of
men, all committed to the Jewish community, was very in-
spiring. As I watched their reactions to the people we met
and the places we visited, it reaffirmed my belief in the crit-
ical importance of the Jewish Federation’s work..

The other men on this mission – Jon Powell (Chair),
Bob Aerenson, Steve Brand, Roger Braunfield, Justin
Chairman, Ben Cohen, Paul Fires, Josh Gross, Wayne
Kimmel, Ben Kirshner, Warren Klein, Bill Luterman, Bud
Newman, Ari Pontz, Alan Remer, Corey Ruth, Adam
Sherman and Randy Stein – were inspired as well. By the
people we met, by the things we did, by being able to see
first-hand what Israelis accomplish each and every day.
The next Men’s Mission will take place in early 2017. For

COMMUNITY NEWS from

The JEWISH FEDERATION of GREATER PHILADELPHIA

e Jewish Federation of Greater philadelphia’s mission is to mobilize financial and volunteer
resources to address the community’s most critical priorities in Greater philadelphia, in israel and around the world.

Volunteers Help Seniors
Get a Fresh Start This Spring

On Sunday, april 3, the Renaissance Group — the Jewish Federation of Greater
Philadelphia’s affinity group for adults ages 22 to 45 — brought together nearly 100 vol-
unteers at its Rebuild event, making vital home repairs for Northeast Philadelphia seniors
who are clients of the Jewish Federation’s Rhawnhurst NORC (Naturally Occurring Re-
tirement Community). The volunteers spent the day working with staffers from Habitat
for Humanity Philadelphia to transform 10 homes and the Congregations of Ner Zedek
both inside and out. “This was an important opportunity to serve an at-risk population
in a key Philadelphia neighborhood,” said House Captain Harlan Rosen.

Key to the success of the day were Renaissance Group Mitzvah Chairs Daniel Levine
and Courtney Behar, as well as House Captains Ben Appel, Jennifer Birch, Beth Grutz-
macher, Leah Howard, Amira Kipnis, Ella Lalwani, Scott Lipner, Jill Marateck, Harlan
Rosen, Tori Rultenberg, Brian Schnoll, Justin Victor and Spencer Yablon.

The day was generously supported by Jewish Federation Real Estate (JFRE), Canada
Dry Delaware Valley, Emergency Response Associates, Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia
and the Rhawnhurst NORC. For more information on the Renaissance Group, visit jew-
ishphilly.org/ren. l
