On November 20, The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore will host its signature Keynote event at Valley Mansion, offering the Baltimore Jewish community an opportunity to connect and be inspired during these incredibly challenging times.We caught up with Beth El congregants Joy and Steven Sibel – parents of Lauren and Hannah and this year’s Keynote event chairs – to chat about everything from their burning questions for Michael Rapaport and Noam Buskila to their go-to Baltimore hangouts and the ups (and downs) of empty nesting.  Your Associated Involvement.Steven: Growing up in Pikesville I was exposed to The Associated very early on in my life through my parents. I started out in Young Leadership back in the eighties and over the years have pretty much done everything except being Chairman of the Board.I like raising money. I think I got that from my mother, Carole Sibel. She once taught me that you’re doing someone a favor when you ask them to give money because you are giving them an opportunity to do something good.Joy: After getting married, I became more involved with The Associated, starting with the 365 Campaign, which encouraged community engagement by asking for a dollar a day. This approach made it comfortable for newcomers like me to ask for donations and helped engage people unfamiliar with The Associated. I’ve also served on the board of CHANA and am involved in the Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation.CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE
