## Resource

Zachary Benjamin, leader of the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg, is stepping down this Friday as the organization grapples with serious financial trouble—already forcing closures of key centers including the Brenner Family Early Learning Center and Symons Family Fitness Center. The Alexander Grass Campus, valued at $8.3 million, is now on the market. But hope isn’t gone: Silver Academy is stepping in to fill educational gaps for kids. Benjamin praised the Transition Committee and expressed confidence that Harrisburg’s small but resilient Jewish community can lead the way in bouncing back stronger than ever, even amid tough times faced by other Jewish communities nationwide.
