“The task is huge, but the risk of doing nothing is far too great. We are all responsible for the actions of the few, more so when we do nothing in the face of those actions.  The Jewish college students who say nothing in the face of anti-Israel, anti-Semitic rhetoric are my responsibility.” (Congrats to OU students!) “The rising rates of intermarriage and Jewish children growing up with no sense of their history or who they are is my responsibility. The doors of more and more JCCs, Jewish schools and synagogues closing is my responsibility.”  Devra Jaffe-Berkowitz hits the nail on the head.

 

Take action.  If you have single Jewish friends, family or acquaintances in the Cleveland area.  Direct them to Cleveland Yentas: www.CLEyentas.com.
