Well, you’re in luck — because you’re eligible for all
of the professional development opportunities offered
by the JPRO Network, a national organization of
Jewish communal professionals whose local chapter is
conveniently housed at the Jewish Federation of Greater
Philadelphia.

JPRO trainings address current Jewish communal
workplace needs. Recent workshops (most at 2100 Arch
St.) have included “The Jewish Response to #MeToo,”
which identified specific ways to create an organiza-
tional culture of respect at Jewish agencies; inspiring
lecturers like Casper ter Kuile, author of “How We
Gather,” to challenge our ways of thinking; a practical
“Stop The Bleed” trauma first-aid training; and every-
day how-tos, like the JEVS presentation “How to Create
a Great Internship.” A JPRO showcase, “Jewish Philly’s
Got Talent,” even gave synagogues, schools and Jewish
organizations the opportunity to meet and book some of
the area’s top Jewish musicians, artisans and edu-tainers.

Coming up next is “Staffing Successful Committees
and Teams” workshop with Marci Mayer Eisen, director
of the Millstone Institute, on March 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Debunking Stereotypes with ‘Rent-a-Jew’

IN 2014, the Anti-Defamation League’s global survey of anti-Semitic attitudes
across 102 countries turned up some startling statistics.

It found that 1.1 billion adults had anti-Semitic views — but also, strikingly,
that 77% of respondents who hated Jews had never met a Jew before. In fact,
the survey found an inverse relationship between the number of Jews living
in a country and the amount of Jew-hatred there: the fewer Jews, the more
anti-Semites.

Enter “Rent-a-Jew.”
In Germany, where anti-Semitic hate crimes are sharply on the rise, a
cheekily-named program fights hate through education by introducing
Germans and Jews for real-life conversation. “Rent-a-Jew lets people talk to
Jews instead of talking about them,” the initiative’s founder said. “It shows that
we are not abstract concepts but real humans.”

for Israel, visit jewishagency.org/rent-a-jew.
