PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 116 Dalia Taft Archivist for the Orange County Jewish Historical Society

Our guest this week, Dalia Taft, tells us about her personal journey in philanthropy and how she became an integral part of the Jewish community’s volunteer superstars. I first met Dalia almost twenty years ago when she was participating with our children in the Orange County standout organization “The Community Scholars Program” which brought us together for scholarship, camping trips, and other family friendly Jewish activities. Dalia presently is the volunteer chair of the Grants Committee of the Jewish Community Foundation of Orange County. She also lives at the intersection of illegal immigration, the Hispanic community and the Jewish community because her son recently married a “Dreamer.” Dalia discusses the importance of compassion for these children of illegal immigrants that are not allowed citizenship as adults and fear deportation. She also discusses her religious and spiritual beliefs and how they have changed over the years. This is a fascinating interview which will leave you with new perspectives on immigration and its affect on the children in this marginalized community.Episode 116Hosted by: Jeanne Pepper Guest: Dalia TaftProducer: Eli Moskowitz Original Theme: Jay Bernstein Special Thank You to our volunteersFOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to PeppTalks with JeanneFacebook: PeppTalks with Jeanne PepperInstagram: @pepptalkswithjeanneLinkedIn: Jeanne PepperDISCLAIMER Jeanne Pepper is providing this podcast as a public service.
