Friends,
Over the Thanksgiving break, my family and I went to Israel for a short visit with family. It has been over a year since I’ve last been, so I didn’t know what to expect. I found a very complicated country, conflicted between daily grief and the want/need to keep the daily routine. I checked in on our Medicycle and am happy to report that it is already making a difference in Tel Aviv. Next time, I will try to visit it. I am very appreciative of this community, its generosity, and its commitment to Israel.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Here at Shomrei, we celebrated the last day of camp on Friday with the Kona Ice Truck! Thank you to Aylah, Lesley, and Vanessa for another year of a wonderful summer camp. While I’ll be enjoying the quiet for the next two weeks, I will miss greeting the kids in the morning.

Company Culture, Recruitment, Retention – Adjusting in the Era of Covid
When I first arrived in the US, after having lived in Israel and Japan, I was exposed to a new work environment and culture. The transition from the academic world to the business (and later nonprofit) world posed a few challenges.I was very lucky to find support from our community in the form of Jewish Vocational Service. JVS helped me and others, Jews and non-Jews, to navigate a complex world of employment. Continue reading
