The theme of the 101st annual meeting of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore on Wednesday, June 16, was, “Hineni — Here I Am,” for all of Jewish Baltimore.
To demonstrate that point and celebrate the accomplishments of The Associated and its agencies after more than a year of formidable challenges, professionals throughout the system composed and performed in a video titled, “We Are One,” which premiered at the 53-minute virtual gathering.
Among the performers were Michelle Gordon, the Associated’s chief of staff, Ira Gewanter, corporate partnerships manager, Centennial Campaign Director David Golaner, and Sharon Eldridge, senior executive coordinator.
The catchy tune was the result of a songwriting workshop with Distant Cousins, a Los Angeles-based indie pop band consisting of Baltimore native Dov Rosenblatt, Duvid Swirsky and Ami Kozak.
Please enjoy the video, and mazel tov to The Associated:
