SUMMARY:March for Israel in Washington\, DC
DESCRIPTION:Temple Beth El is proud to join with Jewish partners across the nation for a March for Israel. Rabbi Dan Levin and Elinor Josephson will be attending to represent Temple Beth El\, and we would love if you could join us too! \nThe march\, organized by the Jewish Federations of North American and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations\, in which the URJ\, CCAR\, ARZA and WRJ are full members\, will take place on Tuesday\, November 14 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm on the National Mall in Washington\, DC. \nThe march will be a meaningful opportunity for us to gather with our greater Jewish community to raise our collective voice in support of our communities in Israel and to demand the immediate release of all hostages in Gaza. By bringing thousands of people together from across the nation\, we can stand united against antisemitism and all forms of hate. \nTransportation and hotels should be booked individually\, but if you are going\, please register so we can meet as a congregation once we are there. \nRegister

Levin\, Executive Vice-Chairman and CEO of NCSEJ: National Coalition Supporting Eurasian Jewry since 1992\, is one of the organized Jewish community’s leading experts on national and international political and legislative issues. Mr. Levin travels extensively throughout the former Soviet region on a frequent basis. \nIn 2008\, Mr. Levin received the Soviet Jewry Freedom Award from the Russian Jewish Community Foundation\, and the Order of Merit medal from Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko. In 2006\, Mr. Levin was honored for 25 years of distinguished service with NCSEJ. \nMr. Levin made his first trip to Russia in 1982\, leading a Congressional delegation to meet with Soviet officials and Jewish activists. He organized the first International Parliamentary Spouses for Soviet Jews Conference in Washington\, D.C. Mr. Levin was instrumental in creating the Congressional Coalition for Soviet Jews – one of the largest Congressional caucuses ever formed. \nIn 1987\, as a member of the Summit Task Force\, Mr. Levin was a key figure in organizing the Washington Mobilization on behalf of Soviet Jews which brought more than 250\,000 people to the nation’s capital on for the December 6 “Freedom Sunday” rally. In 2002\, he again worked closely with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and other NCSEJ member agencies to organize the massive April 15 “National Rally for Israel.” \n \nKira Melamed-Vainberg was born and grew up in Ukraine. In her teens\, she worked at the Jewish Agency of Ukraine in youth groups and summer camps. \nWhen Kira made Aliyah to Israel in 2001\, her parents moved from Zhytomyr to Kyiv\, where her mom still lives. \nKira moved to Florida in 2016 and has been working at Temple Beth El since 2019. \n \nIn 1989\, Mariya Kemper’s family immigrated to the United States as political refugees.  Their journey was a long one and they were called “stateless” as they had to give up their citizenship upon leaving.  They traveled to Austria and stayed in a small motel with many other refugees.  From Austria\, they traveled to Italy and stayed there for 4 months while they awaited the documents to enter the United States.  They arrived in December of 1989 which marked the beginning of their American Dream. \nAfter a few years of high school\, Kemper attended Baruch College 1992-1996.  Upon graduation\, she began a career in Advertising – Strategic Media Planning.  It turned into a 20-year career with flagship clients like Hershey\, Merck\, Lufthansa\, MoMA and Chanel.  As a Senior Partner\, Managing Director\, she was responsible for spearheading clients’ media efforts in a multi-channel approach. \nKemper retired in 2016\, in order to be able to be more present with my family\, – husband Brian\, sons Logan and Cooper.  Since then\, she has been active in school PTAs\, fundraising efforts for multiple charities\, HOA Community Boards\, etc.  No longer able to do ballet\, she has picked up new hobbies like tennis\, gardening and even bee keeping. \nSince Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24th\, she has thrown herself into every opportunity to help Ukraine and Ukrainians in their time of need. She is deeply worried about her family and all her childhood friends who remain in Kiev at this moment.  Her heart breaks for all of Ukraine and its quest for Freedom.  And she will do anything to support Ukraine – now and forever!
