When I first arrived in the US, after having lived in Israel and Japan,  I was exposed to a new work environment and culture. The transition from the academic world to the business (and later nonprofit) world posed a few challenges.I was very lucky to find support from our community in the form of Jewish Vocational Service.  JVS helped me and others, Jews and non-Jews, to navigate a complex world of employment.

As Shomrei’s Operations Director, I discovered that we are always in need of great partners to make this community even better. JVS gets to know prospective employees and can make a great “shidduch” (match) between employees and employers with specific needs. Especially during Covid, I invite employers and other professionals to get some new ideas on how to manage employees during these different times.
