The annual meeting of the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte will take place on Monday, May 16, at 7 p.m. in the Sam Lerner Center for Cultural Arts at Shalom Park. Please join us to honor outgoing president, Ron Townsend, as he shares the successes and challenges of leading in a mostly virtual environment. We will also welcome incoming president, Risa Miller. Risa will discuss the goals for her term as she prepares to build on our most recent successes.

During the annual meeting, the 2022-2023 slate of officers and board of trustees will be presented, and an election will be held. Community members 18 years and older who contribute at least $36 to the Annual Campaign are considered voting members.

Federation welcomes Rabbi Joseph Telushkin as he speaks on "Moral Imagination: Being a Good Person in a Morally Complicated World."

Rabbi Telushkin was named by Talk Magazine as one of the 50 best speakers in the U.S. He is a New York Times best-selling author. His book, "Jewish Literacy" is the most widely sold Jewish book in the past three decades. Telushkin's "Words That Hurt, Words That Heal" became the motivating force behind a Senate resolution to establish a National Speak No Evil Day. A senior associate of CLAL, Rabbi Telushkin serves on the board of the Jewish Book Council.
