An Evening of Generosity:
200+ Attend Jewish Federation’s Jewish
Community Day at Green Valley Country Club
More than 200 Green Valley Country Club members
attended the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s
Jewish Community Day on June 8. For decades, this annual
event at the Green Valley Country Club has convened
the Jewish community to raise vital funds for the Jewish
Federation to make the world a better place for generations
to come. Filled with socializing, dinner and drinks, the
evening featured former professional baseball player and
Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame inductee Ruben
Amaro, Jr. During a facilitated conversation with Green
Valley Country Club President and event chair Jonathan
Wolfe, Amaro discussed his unique and strong Cuban-
Mexican, Jewish-American heritage.

The Jewish Federation’s Jewish Community Day at Green
Valley Country Club garnered one of its largest turnouts.

Guest speaker Ruben Amaro, Jr., former professional baseball
player, shared his experiences as a Cuban-Mexican, Jewish-
American share.
