SUMMARY:Jewish Funders Network 2021 Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Areyvut is excited to be attending and participating in the Je
 wish Funders Network 2021 Virtual Conference with a theme of Strong Bonds:
  The Elements that Energize Jewish Philanthropy.\n\nSince our launch in Se
 ptember 2002\, we have been dedicated to educating\, engaging\, motivating
  and inspiring others to energize Jewish philanthropy via the core Jewish 
 values of chesed\, tzedakah and tikkun olam.  We look forward to learning
 \, growing\, reflecting and networking with leaders\, colleagues and funde
 rs throughout the conference.\n\nIf you are attending the JFN Virtual Conf
 erence and would like to learn more about Areyvut\, our Teen Philanthropy 
 resources or other community engagement and leadership programs\, please e
 -mail info@areyvut.org to set up a time to talk with Daniel Rothner\, our 
 Founder and Director and if you know someone attending the conference plea
 se encourage them to find and reach out to Daniel so that they can network
  and explore ways to work and partner together.\n\nHere is more on the JFN
  2021 Virtual Conference:\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are at a turning point\, surrounde
 d by unprecedented financial need\, with every sector of the Jewish world 
 affected. The pandemic has sparked great creativity as well as great anxie
 ty. Existing trends have accelerated\, for good and ill\, and new issues h
 ave arisen. Big-picture thinking about the future is more critical than ev
 er\, but must be done alongside the task of addressing the immediate needs
  of communal institutions and NGOs around the world. The long-term impact 
 is not yet clear: Will Jewish life return to the way it was before Covid? 
 More importantly\, should it?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe JFN virtual confere
 nce posits that donors in this environment must bring to bear three elemen
 ts that\, bonded together\, form the molecular structure of Jewish philant
 hropy in 2021. Each day of our program explores one element. On Monday\, M
 arch 15\, we focus on resilience\, to ensure our grantees and communal in
 frastructure can better withstand crises. On Tuesday\, March 16\, we refle
 ct on humility\, to work in true partnership with other funders and grant
 ees\, to use our power well and thoughtfully\, and to operate in a way tha
 t builds each other up even when we disagree. Finally\, on Wednesday\, Mar
 ch 17\, we turn to community itself\, focusing on the bonds we make to o
 ne another\, and how to strengthen them even — especially — in a time 
 of isolation.\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the minyan to the Shabbat dinner table\, fro
 m the classroom to the transformative Israel experience\, Jewish life requ
 ires togetherness to thrive. While the conference this year cannot bring o
 ur dynamic community together in person\, we are combining technology and 
 design to recreate what we miss the most: the energy of sharing a space wi
 th other people. Nothing can replace the real thing — but unlike many on
 line events\, the JFN conference will prioritize participant networking an
 d connectivity around the ideas and passions they share. As at any JFN con
 ference\, we offer inspiring keynote speakers\, thought-provoking conversa
 tions\, skill-building workshops\, and discussion opportunities to help Je
 wish funders improve the quality and efficacy of their philanthropy.\n\n\n
 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe JFN conference creates a special chemistry\, pro
 viding funders around the globe an unparalleled opportunity to form bonds 
 that are both strong and flexible. Those relationships support the best of
  independent Jewish philanthropy: thoroughly informed\, deeply networked\,
  and free to experiment and learn.\n\nWe hope you’ll join us\, for only 
 by being together can we strengthen the relationships\, open the conversat
 ions\, and generate the ideas that will carry us forward to a brighter tom
 orrow.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;
