Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing!, Support Groups for Teenage Girls, Miami
 Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing! is a supportive monthly forum for teenage girls. The national program aims to foster the self-esteem of adolescent girls as they cope with this challenging life passage. In the group, the girls socialize, learn, and engage in hands-on activities under the guidance of a trained adult facilitator. In 2005 Targum Shlishi continued its support of two Rosh Hodesh groups in Miami; the foundation funded the establishment of these groups two years ago. www.roshhodesh.org
One Voice: Jewish Women for Israel, New York City
 Targum Shlishi continued its support of One Voice, a coalition of twelve national women’s organizations united in support of Israel. The organizations represent a broad spectrum of political and religious views. Among One Voice’s recent activities are spearheading national call-in days to government officials in support of Israel and hosting a program of lectures, films, and discussions in June 2005 to bring together interfaith groups of Jews and Christians in conversation about the Israeli-Palestinian situation. The program was titled “A Two-Part Conversation About the Middle East” and was held in New York City.

United Jewish Generations, Adopt-a-Bubby Program, Miami
Dedicated to enhancing quality of life for the elderly, United Jewish Generations (UJG) brings holidays, cultural programs, and entertainment to senior citizens who live apart from their families in assisted and independent living facilities and nursing homes. The organization’s new Adopt-a-Bubby program extends UJG’s mission to nurture the elderly by bringing together senior citizens and high school students to give these two groups the opportunity to experience an intergenerational relationship, awareness of Jewish heritage and culture, and gain satisfaction from enhancing each other’s worlds. Together they share quality time through activities like arts & crafts, cooking, games, and conversation.
