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.

JFRE Event Attracts Real Estate Professionals

ON SEPT. 27, 100 men and women joined the Jewish Federation

Real Estate (JFRE) group at its first recruitment event for profes-

sionals who are entering or relatively new to the real estate field for

networking, food and drinks at the Independence Beer Garden.

According to Rachel Sigman, senior development officer at the Jew-

ish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and JFRE lead staff,

approximately half of the attendees were new to JFRE. “The event

chairs, Andrew Zakroff and Mark Krantz, put a lot of effort into

inviting people representing diverse areas of real estate who are

starting out in their careers and knew little to nothing about JFRE.”

Attendees spent time with members of JFRE's Executive Com-

mittee and Program Committee as well as other seasoned real

estate professionals to learn how joining JFRE can grow their

careers, while also benefiting the Jewish community. For young

professionals ages 21 to 45 who become JFRE members, their

donation to either the JFRE Fund or the Jewish Community

Fund or a combination of the two also qualifies them for
