Spotlight on Scholarships

Travel to Israel offered through
Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation
Adrienne Cohen brightened the lives of everyone she touched. Her Judaism and spirituality blossomed when she and her husband Mark joined the Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation - Emek Shalom in their hometown of Simsbury. In 2006, she fulfilled another dream when she traveled to Israel with a group from FVJC. When Adrienne passed away last winter, her husband Mark and their children established funds in her memory through FVJC. The Adrienne Cohen Israel Fund provides financial need-based scholarships for first time travelers to Israel. For more information contact Rabbi Herman at 860.651.8576 or rabbi@fvjc.org.
