Between 21-23/02/2025, ENE held a 3-day seminar in Portaria, Pelion and in Volos.
The seminar aimed to create a volunteer group of ENE, the “ENElontes”, as well as to train them in organizing events.
A key concern of the organization was for the attendees to listen to the needs of both individual ENE members and Greek Jewry in general. The program included a series of seminars designed and implemented by ENE board members Leonardo Cohen, Victor Moses, Samis Mosios, Elisavet Detsi, as well as President Eliezer Solomon Kampelis, in collaboration with Rabbi Gabriel Negrin, Elias Saltiel and Elena Dimitriou.
Through the successive meetings, two basic ideas emerged for implementation. The first concerns a social kitchen consisting of youth members that will prepare meals for the needy, and this is an action that aims to highlight the social work of youth and strengthen the bond between its members.
The second concerns a festival that will highlight Greek Jewish culture through cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, presentations, etc.
The seminar also included, among other things, a visit and tour of the Jewish Community of Volos and its synagogue, in which two services were held (Mincha and Arvit Shabbat).
Participants received attendance certificates upon their departure from Portaria.
The seminar could not have been held without the co-financing of the Jewish Community of Athens through ENA, as well as the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). Furthermore, the contribution of the Jewish Community of Volos to this project was also invaluable.
The ENE board thanks all esteemed collaborators for their contribution to this valuable work.
