A Night to Honor Israel
The 2005 "A Night to Honor Israel", sponsored by the
Mississippi Valley Association of Evangelicals, was an incredible
night of dancing, music , celebration
and prayer. The
purpose was to bring
Christians together to
demonstrate their love and support for Israel and the Jewish
people. Over $42,000 was raised, which is to be used to help
Jews immigrate our sister-city
in Israel , Kibbutz Or Haner. |

Executive Director takes trip to Kiev and Israel |
|
 |
"...a wonderful educational and
inspirational journey."
-Executive Director, Allan Ross, on his trip to Kiev and
Israel |
| |
The Federation Director, Allan Ross, took
a recent trip to Kiev and Israel as a member of the Small
Federation Executive Institute. All Federation Executive
participants had an opportunity to see how the overseas
dollars raised within their communities are put to good
use in helping needy Jews all over the world.
An excerpt from Allan Ross's
"letter to the
community" on his trip to Kiev and Israel:
As some of you may know, I recently attended the Small
Federation Executive Institute (SFEI), which was held this
year in Israel. Those of you who have been to Israel know
that the sights, the sounds, the feelings, the
atmosphere….are all just too incredible to put into words.
Virtually everyone who returns vows to do whatever it
takes to ensure the successful future of the Jewish state
and the Jewish people throughout the world.
