More than a young men’s fundraising group for United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Nadiv is a place to network, socialize, and learn about each other’s professional lives.
On Friday, November 8, 12 Nadiv members toured the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Jonathan Beha, a colonel in the US Air Force and a member of Nadiv, arranged for the visit on the carrier.
The tour offered many highlights, including:
•Walking along the flight deck, which is more than three football fields long.
•Experiencing the command bridge above the flight deck, which offers a birds-eye view of the operations below.
•Standing inside a hangar that holds up to 90 aircraft at a time.
The USS Eisenhower maintains approximately 5,000 sailors while at sea. The ship is currently docked in Norfolk for routine maintenance and repairs after a recent deployment to the Middle East.
Nadiv is a thriving young professional group under UJFT’s Men’s Division. The group has two big fundraisers planned for 2025 – a March Madness bracket challenge and an inaugural, community-wide poker event scheduled for Tuesday, May 13 at the Sandler Family Campus.
All Nadiv men give at least $365 to UJFT’s annual campaign.
To join Nadiv or to provide a sponsorship or a prize for an upcoming Nadiv event, contact Amy Zelenka, United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s chief development officer, at azelenka@ujft.org.
Sam Molofsky is Nadiv chair.
