Vice President ECEC-Lital Donner

Lital trained new immigrants to Israel (Olim), providing them the tools to learn Hebrew, understand the Israeli and Jewish story and become acclimated within Israeli society. The passion for Jewish education led Lital to work for Taglit – Birthright Israel after her army service, study Jewish education in Seminar-Hakibutzim college in Tel-Aviv, and become a Jewish Agency Israel Fellow at Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach, educating and connecting college students to Israel. After three years of bringing Israel to campus, Lital moved on to her next chapter of professional work in the Jewish communal sector. Lital is currently the Director of Community Engagement at the Jewish Federation of Broward County. Lital is married to Josh and together they have a beautiful daughter, Zoe. Life in the diaspora has made a great impact on Lital's understanding of the importance of a united Jewish community; it is a family. Lital is committed to connecting our Jewish community to Israel as well as connecting people to people - anywhere.
