Federation's Next Gen Team Kicks Off The Network
 |
| The Network |
On Thursday, October 10, nearly 20 Jewish community professionals in San Diego came together at the Federation for the kick off meeting of The Network. The Network is for professionals who manage programming and outreach for Jewish young adults. It serves as a platform to mobilize the San Diego Jewish community around serving the Next Gen (Gen X and Y) population. Through networking, professional development and collaboration, it is the goal to build capacity to better serve more Next Geners and their interests.

| Heather Wolfson, Next Gen Strategic Partnerships and Leadership Manager |
“Yesterday’s inaugural Network meeting was a great first step in cultivating the collaborative community partnerships San Diego is ripe to build,” said Michael Gropper, Moishe House Western Regional Director. “Through Heather’s leadership in networking and developing relationships among young adult Jewish professionals, we will all grow our capacity, engagement resources and tools for success.”
The professionals are committed to developing a collaborative environment to work most efficiently and effectively together, and are eager to convene at a retreat in the coming weeks. If you would like more information about The Network, please be in touch with Heather (heatherw@jewishfederationsandiego.org).

Federation Women Talk Tinsel Town with Danielle Gelber
Nearly 100 women gathered for Federation’s first Women’s
Philanthropy event of the New Year. “On Air” featured Wolf Films
Executive Vice President Danielle Gelber, one of the top women executives in
television.
Gelber recounted her remarkable career rise, from answering
phones as a “temp” for Aaron Spelling, to her current position with legendary
TV mogul Dick Wolf, which includes serving as Executive Producer of Chicago
Fire. In the years since her less than auspicious start, she has been
involved with the development or production of numerous iconic series, ranging
from Dynasty to Beverly Hills 90210 to Weeds.
The audience sat in rapt attention as Gelber shared tales of
how she achieved such tremendous success in a system that was traditionally
male-dominated – particularly in her early years. She shared inspiring
professional insights as well as fascinating inside stories, and dazzled the
entire audience.
The program was rounded out by a presentation by Kasey
MacNair, coordinator of Jewish Family Service’s Employment & Career
Services program. MacNair explained the program’s efforts on behalf of
those who receive assistance with finding employment and developing their careers.
Her presentation, which highlighted the important efforts of one of
Federation’s historic partners, complemented Danielle Gelber’s story of
building her career with a moving example of Federation’s commitment to a
caring community.
Mandy Danzan, Federation Campaign Director said - “We are happy to be able to
provide programming for women of all ages in the Jewish Community to engage in
the work of Federation. In working with our partners locally, in Israel
and overseas we are able to help those most in need and engage our community in
this effort.”

Federation's JCRC Hosts Israeli LGBT Leadership

JCRC
hosts dinner with Israeli LGBT organization President Shai Doitsch at home of San
Diego School Board VP Kevin Beiser
|
Shai Doitsch is the Chairperson Aguda, Israeli's national LGBT organization. He works as an expert adviser on gay tourism and gay market outreach, and is the publisher of the Israeli's Gay Magazine. We met him while in Israel this past July for the seminar with elected officials and Jewish community leaders.
Shai visited San Diego for the purpose of becoming familiar with the local community, both Jewish and LGBT, and met with local leaders in the LGBT and Jewish communities to explore collaborations.
Federation's JCRC hosted a dinner at the home of Kevin Beiser, San Diego School Board Vice-President to introduce Shai to the San Diego community. We enjoyed lively conversation about the challenges of marriage, surrogacy, religion and connections between our two countries.
