Jetsetters got a visit from Jewish Pirates!

March 15, 2010

Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean and their Cohorts

February’s JeTSetter’s program featured a presentation on the history of Jewish Pirates.

The story begins with th100_0095e Spanish Inquisition of 1492 when Jews were forced to convert to Christianity, flee Spain or die.  Over the next 300 years a few Jewish men felt that they had a mission to avenge the injustices done to “their people”.  Piracy became their way of exacting some revenge and also making a profit.  Samuel Pallache the Pirate rabbi, Jean Lafitte the Robin Hood pirate, and many more became heroes and legends in their own time but then time forgot who they really were and what they stood for….until now!

JeTSetters is a program for seniors.  It is done in partnership with Tampa JCC.  Click here for more.

Give a Day. Get a Disney Day- Big Success!

February 3, 2010

On Sunday, January 31st Tampa Jewish Family Services participated in the “Give a Day- Get a Disney Day” involving over 130 volunteers from around the Tampa Bay Area.  The experience called, “Collect, Sort, and Bag for our Community Food Bank.” Each volunteer was instructed to collect at least 20 non-perishable food items from neighbors, friends and family.   On Sunday, each volunteer brought in their donations. Some collected by going around their neighborhood with a red wagon asking door to door, some set up food donations at their office and others bought food to bring in.

When they arrived, each volunteer, ranging in age from 8 to 72, sorted their donations according to specific categories in order to create balanced food distribution bags.  Then, they took empty bags and gathered the necessary items for senior, family or for our emergency food bags (we keep on hand for those who call in desperate need).  It was a huge success.
