Find Your Niche in YAD

Have you ever wanted to know more about YAD, the Jewish Federation and our local Jewish community? YAD’s Leadership and Education Team is here to help. The Leadership and Education Team, headed up by Adrienne Leder and me (Frank Brodsky), is ready to help you get connected within the organization and the community at large. We help you find your place through local programming and by providing fabulous opportunities for people to participate in events outside of the area. On the local level, we lead a fabulous program called Club Fed every winter/spring. Club Fed is made up of five sessions in which participants actively engage in learning about Jewish identity, contemporary Jewish issues, Israel, Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Federation-supported organizations. Each session is highly interactive, educational, engaging and, most of all, fun. Enrollment begins in January and fills up quickly.

Reserve your spot today. The Leadership and Education Team also heads up the recruitment and local coordination for young adult conferences and missions. This March, we are sending more than 25 San Francisco YAD participants to the National Young Leadership Conference in New Orleans, LA. They’ll join more than 500 others from around the country to party, learn about New Orleans and help rebuild hurricane-damaged areas. These fantastic programs help the Leadership and Education Team meet its goals of further developing the future leadership of YAD and the Jewish Federation and helping people learn more about the organization and get connected in ways that are meaningful to them.

I look forward to having you get involved and am happy to help in any way I can.
