FY17 Annual Report

After a year of planning, over 50 JCC and community members journeyed from Poland to Israel to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors and trace the path that took them from one of the darkest chapters in history to one of the brightest. “This was a tremendously emotional trip which I could not have done on my own. I was grateful to have Randy and Michael [Dolly’s daughter-in-law and son] and all the other participants with me. Everyone was amazing and bonded.” – Dolly Belfer, JCC Senior Social Member POLAND & I SRAEL A Journey From Darkness to L ight A P R I L 2 2 – M A Y 2 , 2 0 1 7 WE TOOK A JOURNEY Jerusalem New Jersey Treblinka Auschwitz & Birkenau Warsaw Tel Aviv Majdanek Krakow Our dinners at the JCCs in Warsaw and Krakow were warm and meaningful celebrations of renewal and strength in these Jewish communities.
