Actor Michael Douglas joined a panel on hospitality in synagogues at the 2015 URJ Biennial. He spoke of his own Jewish journey, and of the JFN matching grant initiative in his honor, Avenues to Jewish Engagement for Intermarried Couples and their Families, in honor of 2015 Genesis Prize Laureate Michael Douglas.

Last summer, in the middle of camp season, a group of funders from JFN joined with the Foundation for Jewish Camp to take a tour of disabilities programs at camps around the northeast. For three days, we traveled and learned together, and saw firsthand the incredible work these programs can achieve.
