A Word from the Asst. Director |
Youth at a Glance |

The
Southeast Region consists of 87 congregations in 7 states, Barbados,
Cuba and Puerto Rico. Our synagogues range in size from 10 families to
over 2,000 families, from small, isolated communities to major
metropolitan areas. In all nearly 40,000 families belong to affiliated
Conservative congregations in our region. The Southeast Region is committed to providing all of our congregations with a wide range of program and services. Leaders in our synagogues receive on an on-going basis, vital information, services, programs, ideas, networking opportunities, publications, educational materials and support for your activities. The Southeast Region is a network of “synagogues of excellence”. Although we are spread out over a wide geographic area, we are proud of the closeness that has developed between our congregations and between our regional leadership and our synagogues. This closeness is an on-going process, one that must be continually nurtured. This web site is a new and vital part of that process, because it opens up the region to an even wider circle. It is my hope that you will become an active part of the Southeast Region, your congregation’s “extended family”. Use this web site as a link to the myriad resources for help, advice and direction. Contact us in the regional office and let us help you build your congregation and let us help you in your own spiritual journey. We are delighted that several of our synagogues have had congregational trips to Israel that included visits to our beautiful Fuchsberg Center in Jerusalem. Our campus is truly a center for Conservative Jews in Israel. Please make sure that when you, your congregation or your members visit Israel that the trip includes a visit to the Fuchsberg Center on Agron Street in the heart of Jerusalem. For up-to-date information on activities at the Center, check our web page at www.uscj.org.il, or contact Rabbi James Lebeau (Lebeau@uscj.org), 2-10 Agron Street, P.O.B. 7456, Jerusalem 94265, Israel. The Southeast Region coordinates Kosher travel programs for the United Synagogue. We will once again host a wonderful Passover program. This year, we will celebrate at the outstanding Ritz Carleton in Orlando. For details, call our office, our special travel toll-fee number 1-866-601-USCJ, or check our web page at www.uscj.org/retreats Gayle, Noam and Leor join me in wishing all of you happiness, health, security and peace.

KATRINA UPDATE Read about Harry Silverman's visit to Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
This past week, I had the privilege of joining Rabbi Neil Sandler, president Nancy Levine and 26 other members of Ahavath Achim Synagogue in Atlanta, GA on an 8 day mission to meet the Jewish community of Cuba. We visited five congregations (three of which are affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism in our Southeast Region) in three cities, Havana, Santa Clara and Cienfuegos. We also had an opportunity to experience some traditional Cuban nightlife and tourist attractions.
