Our June campaign, Silver Learnings, is up and running. Thank you to those who have already contributed. Everybody else … three weeks and counting!

Why Silver Learnings? Because no matter how “hard” or “easy” any of us had it during the pandemic, we’ve all learned a lot. About the world, about ourselves, about others. Some of it was bad and, almost amazingly, a lot of it was good. That good stuff has been one of the pandemic’s silver linings.

Friends from many different walks of life have put down in words what they’ve learned this past year. Hopefully, this can help all of us better understand what this year has been about. Molly Rodriguez and Joe Casario have already shared their writings with us (click on their names if you need to catch up), and we hope you enjoy Silver Learnings as much as we are!

We also hope that you’ll give thanks for your own survival by making a donation to our Silver Learnings campaign. Your doing so will allow us to continue helping out on your behalf.

As usual, choose the Arts Fund, Social Justice Fund, Jewish Life Fund or General Fund.

We continue to miss Jonah and to feel grateful: a) that we had him in our lives; and, b) that he’s inspired us to do good stuff in his name. The Jonah Maccabee Foundation has promised to honor Jonah’s life by “turning love into action.” We are humbled to be your partner in working for sustained meaningful change in our society.

Thank you for supporting our Silver Learnings campaign.
