Welcome, Jewish Press Intern Ashton Kay

learning about and absorbing Israeli culture and artistry. At the end of our intensive we will spend a shabbat hosted in our partnership area with teens who also dance at KCDC. All of us have been required to attend “pre-trip” meetings, where we have been learning about Israel’s history, its cultural and societal dynamics, and its partnership program through the Omaha JCC. It has been a joy to learn about all of these things in preparation for our departure, and we cannot wait to continue to do so through our travels.

Each of the dancers attending this dance program extend their thanks to our generous donors: the Albert and Eleanor Feldman Family Israel Foundation; the Staenberg Family Foundation and the Kiewit Companies Foundation.

We also thank the Foundation Grants Committee and the Special Donor-Advised Fund. Because of these contributions, it has been possible to offer this opportunity to aspiring dancers at the JCC. We are endlessly grateful, thank you so much for helping to make our dreams a reality.
