Strengthening the Bonds of our Jewish Community

Last month, leaders from 24 Bay Area Jewish organizations participated in the Irving Rabin Community Building Mission to Israel, a pilot program of the Federation in partnership with Varda Rabin. The goals of the program are community building and deepening relationships among community partners.

Here, we have compiled personal reflections offered by some of the participants of the trip:
