How you choose to live out the end of
your life is a precious choice. VITAS’
compassionate end-of-life care supports
life and hope, and the values of Jewish
tradition. We work closely with Rabbi
Howard Wolk, community chaplain of
Jewish Family Service and our national
medical director is a Rabbi—so VITAS
is uniquely sensitive to the needs of
Jewish patients and their families.

Foundation, was touched when
Senator Cruz recalled that his father,
Pastor Raphael Cruz, was also a
former honoree of Bnai Zion, for his
special friendship with Israel, as a
strong Christian Zionist. The event

Nancy Cole commented on how
wonderful it is to share love for Israel
and political passions as well as
strong convictions for the welfare of
our country. Diane appreciated the
opportunity to host dear friends and
strong Christian Zionists who are
true leaders of their flock in deeds as

On Feb. 5, the Dallas Community
iEngage Initiative welcomed
Hartman Scholar Dr. Elana Stein
Hain for a community lecture
at Congregation Shearith Israel.
Dr. Stein Hain, who brilliantly
addressed the topic “On American
Jewry’s Israel Conversation: Between
Prophetic and Rabbinic Politics,” is
scholar-in-residence and director
of faculty at the Shalom Hartman
as an emerging Jewish leader.
The Dallas community iEngage
Initiative is a grassroots consortium
(comprising Adat Chaverim,
Anshai Torah, Beth Torah, Shearith
Israel, Temple Emanu-El, Temple
Shalom and the JCC) and is a
direct outgrowth of Rabbi Donniel
Hartman’s powerful talk in Dallas
in May 2017. The Shalom Hartman
Institute’s work on transformative
thinking and teaching addresses
some of the major challenges facing
the Jewish people in Israel and
around the world and encouraged a
group of local rabbis and educators
to gather and plan a communitywide
approach to Jewish values-based
education about the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict.
Using the Hartman Institute
iEngage materials, the consortium
has created a context for genuine Israel
engagement across denominational,
generational and geographic divides.
