DEVELOPMENT Virtual Programming

What a whirlwind this year has been! AMIT continued to connect with our donors during these uncertain times, through a vast array of virtual and hybrid events. Our community was able to come together in a whole new way, as members participated in events they wouldn’t normally be able to, rediscovering old friends living in diff erent cities, and enabling us to share our message with new people. Since January 2021 we have held more than 25 national, virtual programs and engaged hundreds of supporters from across the country and Canada. We have received tremendous positive feedback about our off erings, and we want to share some highlights with you, here. Many of our past events are available on our website for viewing, at: amitchildren.org/connecting-with-amit/

Our thanks to national chair Debbie Moed and national co-chair Rebecca Adlerstein and the hard-working committee from all our AMIT chapters across the U.S. and Israel for making this our most successful Mother-in-Israel campaign yet!

Annual Assembly 2021

On Tuesday, June 15th, AMIT held its Annual Assembly. Due to COVID-19 it was a virtual event. The theme of the evening was “Moving Forward After a Year Apart.” President Audrey Trachtman and Treasurer Malky Jacobs gave updates on the organization. Together with Audrey, Dr. Amnon Eldar, Director General of the AMIT Reshet, provided an update on the state of our schools after the long year of pandemic life. Our hope is to see everyone in person next year.

3 Foodie Programs

We are fortunate to attract some of the most talented chefs out there. This year we started off with a “Syrian Treats” program, led by Mollie Sherman and Pauline Ades, AMIT supporters from Englewood, NJ, who lent us their talents for the evening. Next, we had “Passover treats,” led by Esty Wolbe, an Instagram influencer best known for “Cooking with Tantrums.” Another highlight was our program “Shavout Dairy Cooking” with guest chef Paula Shoyer. Paula is a French-trained pastry chef who teaches cooking and baking classes all around the world. She is the author of five cookbooks, including the The Kosher Baker. To see our recipe corner on our website, visit: amitchildren.org/ connecting-with-amit

4 Arts & Culture Events

This year we were able to bring people together virtually to create art and explore current and renown artists. We started off with a papercutting class led by AMIT supporter and Teaneck, NJ, resident, Dena Levie. Next, SVA Professor and well-known artist, Tobi Kahn, toured us through some of the latest, hot galleries around the world. Finally, Ronnit Vasserman led us on two amazing tours, including a study of Chagall and a tour of the underground art in the NYC subway system. These programs allowed supporters to both learn about AMIT as well as experience these exhibits without having to leave their homes.

3 Programs Featuring Education on Financial Wellness

Financial planners Jonathan Blinken and Robert Soler offered their expertise through a series of financial education programs focusing on strategies for retirement, life insurance, and long term care. This series was organized through AMIT’s Planned Giving department. For more information, visit: amitlegacy.org

4 Literature Programs

AMIT has always been known for our Book Clubs and we were lucky to expand upon the format, and virtually offer them to a much larger audience. This year we heard from Ronald Balson, author of Once we Were Brothers and Eli’s Promise, which was extremely well received. Next, we focused on a series we titled “Netflix and Novels,” with guest lecturer Bev Rosen. Bev taught literature at Drexel University and the Philadelphia College of Art. This series included discussions on: The Queens Gambit, A Woman of No Importance, and The Angel: The Egyptian Spy Who Saved Israel. For future literature programs, please view our upcoming events here: amitchildren.org/events/

A Virtual Evening with Hadassah Lieberman

On Sunday evening April 18th, more than 150 AMIT supporters enjoyed a virtual evening with Hadassah Lieberman in connection with the publishing of her memoir, Hadassah, An American Story. Interviewed by her son, Rabbi Ethan Tucker, attendees were privy to her personal insights as an immigrant in 1949. From earning her B.A. from Boston University, and her M.A. in international relations from Northeastern University, to marrying Joe Lieberman and their experiences as he campaigned for both the US Senate and then as half of the democratic presidential ticket in 2000. Hadassah’s story is impressive and exemplifies a true American dream.

Daniel Silva in Discussion with Michael Oren

If it is July, it means there is a new Daniel Silva book. AMIT was privileged to host another virtual event with Daniel Silva on Monday evening July 19th. This time in discussion with former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, more than 300 AMIT supporters heard about the new adventures of Gabriel Alon. We were treated to a very lively discussion on current affairs in both the United States and Israel, as well our guest’s insight into the rise of anti-Semitism.

DEVELOPMENT Tri-State

Long Island Yom Iyun

More than 130 women came out to attend AMIT’s Annual Long Island Yom Iyun, a day of learning for women and by women. The event featured keynote speaker Professor Shoshana Schechter, Associate Dean of Torah and Spiratual Life at Stern College for Women. Professor Schechter spoke on “Mourning the Past to Rebuild the Future.” In her discussion she addressed the purpose of having Tisha B’Av and other fast days throughout the year to mourn tragedies of the past, and how by looking backwards helps to build a better future moving forwards. “The Yom Iyun is a real happening.

DEVELOPMENT NewGen

AMIT NewGen Shines Mid-Pandemic, to Contribute to the Emergency Relief Fund

Kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh (Shavuot 39a), all of Israel are responsible for each other. This well known tenet of Jewish tradition is what we at AMIT live by. Our goal is to take care of the educational, social/ emotional, and even physical needs of each Israeli child in our Reshet (network) during the best of times as well as during times of great need.

As communities in the United States begin navigating life during a pandemic, NewGen is thrilled to offer various Covid-19 safe opportunities. After a year and a half of engaging Zooms, family friendly sing-a-longs, lecture series, cooking demos, murder mysteries, and more, we are finally able to join together face to face. What better way to come together than to help Israel’s most at-risk students re-emerge from this challenging period through the AMIT Emergency Relief Fund, helping our Israeli sons and daughters rebuild after such a challenging year and a half.

AMIT Southeast NewGen region kicked off the campaign on June 20th with an outstanding Father’s Day Family Fun Day at the Pine’s Ice Arena. 25 families enjoyed ice skating and a pizza party while they got a break from the Florida heat. The event was chaired by Rachel and Rabbi Yoni Fein, Melissa and Josh Glaser, Gabrielle and Josh Gold, and Aliza and Mutty Shur.

The Southeast NewGen Ladies Night Out was an evening not to be missed! Meira Hakimi of *DingDong* Drinks mixed up various drinks including a variety of Mojitos while guests chatted, munched on sushi, and supported the Emergency Relief Campaign. The event was chaired by Elise Askenazi, Naomi Baratz, Leora Cohen, Dorit Gittler, Dina Lerer, and Nechama Marks.

AMIT NewGen New England participated in the relief campaign with an outdoor Zumba class on July 7th, hosted by Caryn Wolfe in Newton, MA. A lively and committed group of women enjoyed an adrenaline packed hour while supporting the cause. Many thanks to Alissa Muzin, Annie Aliphas, Caryn Wolfe, Jillian Haise, and Zoe Shamash for their help with this event.

On July 20th, Greater Westchester and Riverdale teamed up for an entertaining Margs & Mixology Ladies Night Out. More than 50 women got out and enjoyed sushi and Mikey Dubbs Frozen Custard while learning how to make delicious drinks with a Master Mixologist.

DEVELOPMENT NewGen

Finally, on August 1st, NewGen Philadelphia hosted an incredible Summer Community Street Fair at the Kaiserman JCC / Perelman Jewish Day School in Wynnewood to fundraise for the Emergency Relief Campaign. With more than 30 vendors ranging from jewelry, gifts, nail & makeup artists, original art, graffi ti art, and more, 250 participants had a wonderful time and raised $5,500. The fair’s grand sponsors were Rosner Title Services, owned by long time AMIT supporters Sarah and Jeff Rosner as well as Norman and Linda Dubin Garfi eld, also longtime AMIT supporters. The crowd enjoyed live music, a festive joyous atmosphere as well as kosher food vendors who all donated a minimum of 10% of sales back to AMIT’s Emergency Relief Fund.

All in all, AMIT NewGen has collectively raised more than $13,200 for the Emergency Relief Fund and we can’t wait to see what more we can do together in the coming New Year. Shana Tova!

DEDICATION

Trudy Abramson’s Everlasting Gift to AMIT

For Dr. Trudy Abramson, making an annual President’s Circle donation to AMIT is an incredibly meaningful experience. The gift hearkens her back to her childhood when she participated in Mizrachi Hatzair youth groups. Her mother and teachers were all Mizrachi women. “AMIT is the brand of Zionism and the brand of Judaism with which I identify myself,” she says.

Her family’s commitment to AMIT transcends multiple generations. While she and her husband Ted were raising three children of their own, the children “grew up with AMIT and always knew what it represented,” she says.

Now a member of AMIT’s national board and President of the Southeast region of AMIT, Abramson has spent her lifetime active in AMIT. It is important to her that her contributions continue even when she is no longer here.

Abramson is spearheading the President & Ambassador Club Endowment (PACE), which will enable AMIT supporters to perpetually endow their annual gifts in their will. (See sidebar for more information.)

“This is a way of leaving money in your estate to support AMIT for decades to come,” she says. “It doesn’t cost you anything now and may offer tax advantages.”

While many devoted family members have set up perpetual endowments in memory of their parents and grandparents, this new initiative enables men and women to act now to craft a charitable legacy for generations to come that will serve as a role model for their offspring.

There’s also peace of mind in knowing that AMIT will continue to have your support. “I didn’t want to leave it up to chance,” Abramson says.

To learn more about the President’s & Ambassador Club Endowment (PACE), contact Genene Kaye at GeneneK@AMITChildren.org or (212) 477-5465.
