As part of the conference’s Teen Summit, Benny, who has
Benny
Shaevsky
food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, soy protein and legumes,
will speak about “Traveling With Food Allergies.” He submitted
the idea for the panel, which was chosen to be featured.

and dean of the Graduate School of
Education and Human Development
at the George Washington University,
home of CASJE.
“Our founder, William Davidson,
understood the lifelong impact Jewish
education can have on an individual
and a community,” says Menachem
“Manny” Menchel, program officer
for Jewish education at the William
Davidson Foundation. “Mr. Davidson
supported various causes for many
decades, including those that benefit-
ed individual Jewish day schools and
communities, as well as larger oppor-
tunities to professionalize the field
of Jewish education. This grant — to
understand how to attract and retain
the best educators — positions us to
expand upon his vision.” ■

The Consortium for Applied Studies
in Jewish Education (CASJE)
announced the launch of a major
project supported by the William
Davidson Foundation and the Jim
Joseph Foundation for comprehensive
research on the pipeline and “career
arc” of educators working in Jewish
education.
The two-year project is supported by
grants totaling $1.5 million from both
foundations and will yield findings
to be shared broadly with the field of
Jewish education and engagement.
“We are embarking on a timely
project that promises to yield new key
findings and data on critical issues that
affect the work of educators in Jewish
institutions and the needs of the field,”
says Michael Feuer, CASJE co-chair

“I feel that I was put on this earth to help others and it is why I get up every morning. I am so

Broadway actors Lauren Chapman
and Zach Adkins will perform a
benefit concert for suicide prevention
at Kerrytown Concert House in Ann
Arbor at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, to
support a new local youth organization
that addresses suicide in teens and
young adults.
Zach Adkins currently plays the lead
role of Dmitry in Disney’s Anastasia on
Broadway; Lauren Chapman currently
performs on Broadway understudying
the role of Anna in Disney’s Frozen.
One hundred percent of revenue
generated from this event will fund
Eventually Group’s efforts to promote
conversation and bring critical
awareness to issues regarding youth
mental health and the prevention of
suicide in teens.

In
November
2017, a
small group
of students
dedicated to
promoting
conversation about the impact of
mental health on young people has
become an ever-growing partnership
of local youth, business owners, mental
health professionals and artists.
These young people, known as
the nonprofit Eventually Group,
have shouldered the responsibility
of speaking to end the silence
surrounding self-harm and suicide in
the youth of our communities.
