You are invited to join us on Sunday, October 27th<\/sup> for a special,
\ninaugural Central PA Jewish Community Conference.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Why this?\u00a0 Why now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s when the wind blows the hardest that you need the deepest roots.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

After polling Jewish leadership throughout the Central PA region we found significant interest in bringing us all together.<\/p>\n

There is value in meeting face-to-face, making connections, sharing and imagining with you.<\/p>\n

We hope this will be the start of developing long-term connections and building invaluable relationships between our Jewish communities.<\/p>\n

Our only agenda is what you see on the invitation and website.\u00a0 You may find opportunities during sessions to raise other issues important to you.<\/p>\n

At times it seems hard to feel we are all part of something bigger than our own Jewish community.<\/p>\n

Join us to make deeper connections to Jewish friends and colleagues who share your desire to live a Jewish life in the Central PA region.<\/p>\n

We hope Imagining Jewish Community in a Changing Environment<\/em><\/strong> will be the first of many opportunities to meet, share and connect with fellow Jews.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contact us at 717-409-8220 with questions.\u00a0 Go to <\/strong>pajewishendowment<\/strong>.org <\/strong><\/a>for agenda details and to register (or) see invitation and register to join.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you on October 27th<\/sup>!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be no solicitation<\/u><\/em> of funds during the event \u2013 or later.<\/p>\n
