JVG hits DC!
May 31, 2010
Last week marked the first White House reception in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month. Among the esteemed guests at the event were JVGroup Fellows Sarah Lefton and Eli Winkelman. President Obama spoke of the contributions that Jewish Americans have made to the United States, as well as the opportunities provided to Jewish immigrants upon arriving to the country.
After the reception, Sarah and Eli – along with Jumpstart‘s Shawn Landres - had the chance to meet Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the United States. The moment was captured here.
It was exciting to see our Fellows right in the heart of the celebration — truly a testament to the valuable contributions they have made and will continue to make to the American Jewish community.
