Dear Teens, Parents, and Friends,
These past four-and-a-half years with the Jewish Teen community of Rochester have been a wonderful experience. It is with heavy heart, therefore, that I send out this message. Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 31st, will be my last day with the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester.
The Federation is assessing the needs of Rochester's Jewish teens - determining what is already available and successful, what is yet to be provided, and which organizations are the right fit for these offerings. Until there are further updates to announce, should you have any questions, I recommend the following:
• For questions regarding financial aid (both needs-based AND non-needs-based) for study or travel in Israel, contact Amy Libenson at [email protected] or (585) 461-0490 x8635.
• For questions about how teens can get involved in Holocaust-related educational opportunities, contact Bonnie Abrams at [email protected] or (585) 461-0490 x8648.
• For all other teen-related questions, contact Rachel Kest at [email protected] or (585) 461-0490 x8647.
I also encourage you all to like/follow the Federation's main social media pages:
• https://www.facebook.com/JewishRochester/
• https://www.instagram.com/jfedroc/
• https://twitter.com/jfedroc
It has truly been an amazing time getting to know so many of you. If you wish to stay in touch with me personally going forward, you may contact me at https://www.facebook.com/vta1425.
I wish you all the best in the future!
Rich Gordon
We serve to enrich the quality of life for Jews in Rochester, Israel and around the world.
