I hope you’ve had a great week! Today I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in our LIFT the J! campaign to support the Bonnie and Donald Dwares JCC! Through the campaign, we were able to raise more than $25,000 to support programming at the JCC, and to help us continue to improve the space, which is a central address of our Jewish community. 

Because of you we’ll be able to upgrade some equipment in our fitness center. We’ll be able to purchase new equipment that will help us expand the offerings in our art studio, and we’ll be able to do much more that will improve the experience for everyone who comes through our doors. 

And that’s important, now more than ever. To have a place where our Jewish community can come together. But to also have a place that is open to everyone and connects them, regardless of their faith, to everything we love about Jewish faith and Jewish culture. And I’m grateful to everyone who has supported it. 

If you didn’t get a chance to support the LIFT the J! Campaign, there are still opportunities to support that vision. On June 9th, the Alliance will be hosting our Richard Bornstein Memorial Golf Classic to support the Dwares JCC. This outing is an opportunity to enjoy a day of fun at the Warwick Country Club, whether it’s through golf, tennis, or pickleball. We’re seeking sponsors, and folks to play in each of the sporting activities we have throughout the day, and we would love for you to join us. You can find more information about the Golf Classic on the Alliance website. 

Like I’ve said so many times over the years, all of the great things we have in our community, like the JCC, only exist because of you. Your support and your generosity make these things possible. And because I can’t say it enough, I want to say thank you.

Until next time, I wish you a safe, peaceful, and joyous Shabbat. 

Shabbat Shalom,
Adam Greenman
