Check out these great events for the whole family sponsored by The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore or Associated agencies.

The Journey, Together: 25 Years After Operation Exodus Celebratory Gala featuring Natan Sharansky
7:00 p.m.
In 1987, Baltimoreans advocated and fundraised in a national movement, Operation Exodus that resettled 1.5 million Soviet Jews. Today, after decades of life in Jewish Baltimore, former Russian émigrés and advocates come together in celebration of our accomplishments. Keynote speaker Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Executive of the Jewish Agency for Israel, and a long-time refusenik will share his personal passionate perspective.

The gala, held at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, 20 West Baltimore Street, will feature musical performances, kosher dining and dancing. Tickets are $125. For information, go to associated.org/together.
