Open Houses Strut Your Stuff With Pride

I have been employed by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia for almost 20 years, and, quite frankly, I was not driven by all the "good reasons" to hold an open house. Instead, my department sort of fell into it.

Back in the early '80s, we were a production staff that had been brought up in a Christian culture, working for the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. We missed celebrating Christmas during the yuletide and decided we would hold our own little private celebration.
