We are pleased to announce that
the Ruth/Allen Ziegler Foundation has committed to funding JDCC activities for the third
year in a row. JDCC thanks them for their generosity.
As previously mentioned, we start the "Overseas Experiences" column in this issue with Liz Stone who is currently in Israel. We have also been approached by several teenagers planning to visit Israel this summer who also wish to share their experience with JDCC News readers, so look for upcoming reports on their experiences in future issues as well!
Food for thought for this issue: Do you know any Deaf programs that provide shelter and clothing, etc to needy Deaf people? I have received inquiries from prospective donors of such items. While there are many Jewish organizations that can accept these donations, they say that they would prefer their donations to benefit Deaf Jewish people. Is there are any deaf organizations that can accept these donations to benefit Deaf Jewish individuals and families? Please let us know so we can refer donors to these organizations.
We will be at the Jewish Deaf Congress convention with a booth on Friday only from 9 am to 4 pm and invite you to visit us! If you are interested in I volunteering your time at the JDCC booth, please contact us.
To those of you across the country, we also welcome your announcement on High Holiday services for the next issue of JDCC News. We would need to hear from you by the August 15th deadline.
