Dear Friend, This Purim, as we recall how personal acts of courage have saved our people, we recognize that each and every one of us has the capacity to shape Jewish destiny. Your generous support for HUC-JIR demonstrates your faith in the Jewish future. Thank you for making it possible for the next generation of rabbis, cantors, educators, Jewish non-profit professionals, and scholars to sustain the survival of our tradition, culture, and values.
