The Ruderman Family Foundation would like to thank the Foundation staff for helping to create this website: our project and content manager Yehuda Ozalvo, who oversaw the project; Galia Granot, deputy director of the Foundation in Israel; and Liat Dolengiewicz, our programs, and media officer. We are also indebted to our wonderful intern Tomer Berenzon for her assistance with this website. We thank Dr. Elan Ezrachi for serving as our academic consultant, and Lenn Schramm, for translating and editing. We are grateful to the Jewish Federations of North America umbrella organization and all the Jewish federations throughout the United States that sent us pictures of their communities and enabled us to present the diversity of North American Jewish life. Special thanks go to our friend Rabbi Yossi Lipsker and the entire Chabad organization in the United States for the pictures and information that they provided so that we could give Israelis a glimpse of Jewish communities even in isolated, remote regions. Last but not least, we are grateful to the Jewish Agency\u2019s Shlichim Unit and Summer Camp Shlichim Program for all the information that they shared with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
