ORT Donor Dinner: Speaker from Kfar Silver

The Ann Arbor chapter of ORT America will hold its Annual Donor Dinner on Tuesday, May 9.  The catered dinner will be at held 6 p.m., outdoors in the tent at Temple Beth Emeth, 2309 Packard Street, Ann Arbor, 48104.  In case of inclement weather, the event will be held in TBE’s Social Hall.

We are honored to have Amos Gofer, Director of Kfar Silver Youth Village in southern Israel, as our speaker.  The title of his talk is “From Math to Farming:  Transforming Every Student Through Education.”  Many of the students at Kfar Silver come from low-income backgrounds, and some of its students are refugees from Ukraine.  The 750 students, many boarding at Kfar Silver, benefit greatly from its emphasis on STEM education, as well as learning important life lessons from the farm operating at the village.

This event will provide ORT members and prospective members the opportunity to honor the chapter’s generous donors.  Donors’ contributions to ORT America are essential for ORT’s programs to serve the needs of 200,000 people annually in more than 30 countries around the world.

Details about the dinner are to come.  Rides will be available to those who need them.  For more information or to RSVP, please contact Joan Levitt at jflevitt2@gmail.com by May 3.
