Dinner with Leadership

Tonight offered us a unique opportunity to begin a dialogue with the Jewish Community of New Orleans' dedicated leaders and professionals. We were able to hear both the positive and negative impacts of Hurricane Katrina in relation to the continuing functioning of Federation and community organizing ranging to the personal relationships strengthened and hindered by the storm. I was extremely touched by the loyalty shown to this city and greatly moved by the community's rallying to move forward and seek growth and opportunity from such a dark and horrific tragedy.
