The Passover story, that traces the dramatic and mystifying events of the Exodus from Egypt, begs for a more profound understanding and significance. This class will examine Kabbalistic teachings that explore the inner dimensions of the exodus, matzah, chametz, four questions and Elijah’s visit. The Kabbalah enables us to connect and unify these aspects into an uplifting, multi-dimensional spiritual experience that will enhance your Passover experience. Join Rabbi Zalman Kravitz for a Kabbalistic Passover journey that transcends the limits of time and space and transforms our being into a new reality.

JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AWARDS
JEWS FOR JUDAISM $25,000 FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Jewish Community Foundation has awarded a 2005 New & Innovative Strategic Planning Grant of $25,000 to Jews for Judaism International.
Strategic Planning grants are given by the Foundation to nonprofit organizations in the Los Angeles community. These grants support the development of a multi-year strategic plan for the purpose of increasing an organization’s capacity to provide services for clients, attract funding, develop quality programming, and consider the impact of current social, demographic and economic trends on long term organizational planning. The grant will help Jews for Judaism translate their long-term vision into a more focused strategic plan for the staff and board. It will also outline the ways in which Jews for Judaism can deliver their message to the Los Angeles Jewish community and define how best to respond to missionary efforts that are insidious and deceptive.
Jews for Judaism will begin the first phase of its strategic plan in November of 2005. Subsequent components of the plan will request input from the Jewish community in the form of surveys and focus groups.
Jews for Judaism is the leading community response to the multi-million dollar efforts of cults and deceptive missionaries targeting Jews for conversion. The organization is endorsed by all denominations of Judaism. Its successful life-saving Crisis Counseling services reunite families and its inspiring Educational Programs increase Jewish pride and teach critical thinking skills.
Established in 1954, the Jewish Community Foundation is the largest manager of charitable assets and the leader in planned giving solutions for Greater Los Angeles Jewish philanthropists. The Foundation currently manages assets of more than $550 million and according to the National Foundation Center, ranks among the ten largest Los Angeles foundations (based on assets). In 2004, The Foundation and its 1,000-plus donors distributed $43 million in grants to more than 1,300 organizations whose programs span the range of philanthropy.
