Jewish Community Federations' LGBT Alliance Celebrating DistinctionsLisa Finkelstein
This strategic plan is based on local and national research, and comes as the result of a broad-based community planning effort. Hundreds of leaders were actively involved in this strategic planning process, including lay leaders, academic researchers, parents, nonprofit professionals, Jewish educators and rabbis.
Parts of the research for this work was based on the LGBT Alliance study directed by Dr. Caryn Aviv with support from Gregg Drinkwater and Dr. Wendy Rosov. The additional research for this work was conducted by Samuel Strauss and Lisa Finkelstein in 45 one-on-one meetings with key community stakeholders.
The LGBT Alliance Planning and Advisory Group (PAG) of the Jewish Community Federation of the Greater East Bay and the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties advised the work between 2008 and 2010 under the staff direction of Karen Bluestone, Rabbi James Brandt, Samuel Strauss and Lisa Finkelstein.
A call to action has been stated in this plan, and it is incumbent upon everyone in the community to respond. The work that went into this plan was made possible by the generous supporters of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties, the Jewish Community Federation of the Greater East Bay, Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund and the Walter & Elise Haas Fund.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

It is with great admiration and appreciation that we applaud Rabbi and Rebbetzin Asher Biron on their
worthy recognition by Valley Torah High School. Rabbi Biron came to Los Angeles as an original member of
the LA Kollel. 34 years ago, he left the Kollel to become one of the leading mechanchim in Los Angeles.
Rabbi Biron has become one of our community's experts in Geirus and serves on the Geirus Bais Din of the
RCC. He helped our Rav, Rav Gershon Bess, found Kehilas Yaakov and has been our Gabbai Rishon and
Ba’al Koreh ever since. Before teaching at Valley Torah, Rabbi Biron taught at other Mosdos, including Toras
Emes and Bais Yaakov. Mrs. Biron has also taught at Valley Torah, as well as at Toras Emes, Bais Yaakov,
and Bnos Esther. They have hundreds of talmidim and talmidos whom they have imbued with the Derech
Hashem. They have also taught many Chasanim and Kallos in preparation for their weddings. Together,
they have raised a beautiful family L’shem Ul’tiferes – all “raised” in our Bais Medrash. Our Kehila is very
proud to remain the home shul of the Birons and we congratulate them on this well-deserved honor.

warmth and love is tangible. I feel that I have almost gained another grandparent when I
came to Valley Torah. Rabbi Biron always made himself available whenever I needed him. His
patience and care made me feel as if I was his granddaughter. Until today I continue to seek
guidance from Rabbi Biron. Every time I pick up the phone to call him, he speaks to me still as
if I am family. I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way about Rabbi Biron. I honestly
think he is among the very few people in this world that anyone that knows him only has good
things to say about him. Thank you so much for always being there for me and all of Klal
Yisrael. Thank you for your deep care and guidance throughout my high school years, through
dating and beyond. I feel so honored to know and have a connection to Rabbi Biron.
Warmly,
