Greater Cleveland is home to several people who played a role in creating some of Hollywood’s most iconic television shows and movies, among them David Wain, the co-director of six feature films.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Young Leadership Division and Women IN Philanthropy joined together at Gathering For Good to celebrate the community, support the 2022 Campaign for Jewish Needs, and honor Shoshana Dessler Jacobs, this year’s recipient of the Irene Zehman Volunteer Award.

For Shaker Heights resident Nadav Marcus, serving the community is something that's been engrained in him since he was a young child. So when the opportunity to join Serve the Moment here in Cleveland presented itself, he jumped at the chance.

In the midst of a global pandemic, Alex Rogoff of Beachwood was experiencing one of the most transformational years he's ever had. As a Masa Israel Teaching Fellow (MITF) in Tel Aviv and Beit Shean (Cleveland's sister city in Israel), Alex spent 10 months teaching English to children in schools – both virtually and in-person. MITF is a post-college volunteer program that’s part of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s I-Connect initiative designed to create deepening connections for young adults with Israeli life and culture.
