Emmis

A framework for the 21st century Federation

by Daniel J. Sokatch, CEO of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties
The month of Elul is the traditional period of self-reflection and introspection. Many of us find ourselves standing at a crossroads, reflecting on what was and considering what might be. For me, this year’s crossroads is especially poignant.

Giving voice to the High Holidays

We want to begin this year with something different, a moving poem entitled 'Life is a Journey' by Rabbi Alvin Fine, who used poetic words and the strength of his resonant voice to lead Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco from 1948 to 1964. He was a brilliant teacher and had a tremendous following among people who loved the art of the sermon.
