Dear Friends of the Cleveland community,

We are members of the Professional Mission. We had a warm and successful visit in Cleveland last September. Our main goals were to learn about your community and to create connections with members of the Cleveland Jewish Community.

We were very happy to get your request (via Julie Aurbach) to take a part in the quilt project.

Because we understood that you needed as many squares as possible before "Yom Haazmaot", we took action quickly. We gathered a group of 40 people from the Beit Shean Region (seniors, adults, youth and kids) and with the help of a professional artist we created the product that you now have in your hands.

As you can see, the topic that we chose is "Our Region".

Sincerely,

Members of Professional Mission 2003
