COLUMBUSCOMMUNITY SHALIACH 2014-2015 Annual Report
It was another great year for me to serve as the Senior community Shaliach.With the help and the support of our professional team at the Federation, the Chairs and the volunteers we created another successful year with lots of achievements.
A major goal for this year was the massive promotion of our partnership between Columbus and Kfar Saba; The medical trip(With 12 participants!), the joint steering committee in Israel, the educational bridge, the 13 together Bar Mitzvah events and the Q.5 visit were all a major projects with a tremendous impact on our community.
During the elections in Israel I had the chance to speak for several crowds in our community and to explain about the complex political realty in Israel.
Yom Ha'Zikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut events were a huge successes with the wonderful show by ‘Quinta and a Half’ that brought the sounds of Israel all the way to Columbus.
On the personal level, we have a new proud member of the Columbus Jewish community, our son, Yanai Abarbanel.
I hope that the next year will be also great and I encourage you to share your ideas with me an to create together new opportunities to strengthen the awareness and the connection to Israel in our community.
L’Shana Tovah!Lior Abarbanel,Your Community Shaliach
