But, I am also quite disappointed that it came from you (regardless of your position in the JTA). The feelings that Elisa's solicitation email brought forth deserve a formal response from her, as both the author of the email and President of JTA. On a related note, and lost in all the various comments is that the solicitation email asks us "to join JTA by becoming a member of our online community. For just $50..." Membership implies certain benefits not available to non-members. What exactly are the benefits of JTA membership? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bea Mandel is the incoming Board Chair of Hillel - a lay leadership position. The President is a paid staff professional - and Wayne's not leaving. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
