MASA Mega 2009: Israel, Your Home Away from Home

October 30, 2009 By Dan Brown

This past Sunday night, 2000 participants from current MASA long-term programs gathered at Jerusalem's Convention Center, Binyaney Ha"Umma, for the annual Mega Event. Representing scores of programs, and countries, the crowd was on a continual high all night. The only downside - the outrageous prices charged by the Falafel concessionaire!

A New Level of Engagement in the Jewish Agency

How many of us can't sleep at night because we are worried about the future of our Jewish community?

FutureTense NY Launches With Focus on Jewish Education

October 29, 2009 By eJP

What is more important for a Jewish informational web site - being on the first page of Google search results or having credible, high quality content? Is the Internet just another tool in the arsenal of educators, or does it fundamentally change the way in which learning takes place and the power relationships between students and teachers?

What Are the Challenges to Social Network Fundraising?

October 29, 2009 By Debra Askanase

Proving that social media can be used to raise significant funds for nonprofits is “the brass ring” that every nonprofit utilizing social media wants to reach. But it is quite an elusive brass ring! There are a number of challenges to overcome before social network fundraising is as easy (and fruitful) as email donation solicitation, offline donation appeals, or the “donate now” button on the website. On the other hand, social network fundraising … [Read more...] about What Are the Challenges to Social Network Fundraising?
