Interview with Amichai Stout, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council for the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo

Amichai Stout is the Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council for the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo. This episode is part of my Faith Community Leader Series. Although there are no Synagogues in Perrysburg, we still have Jewish individuals in our town. This episode is meant to be a resource for current and future Perrysburg residents who are either Jewish or would like to learn about the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo. 

In today’s episode, Amichai introduces himself, highlights the various Synagogues in the Toledo area, talks about programs, resources, upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, interfaith collaboration, ways to connect, and more.
