This op-ed is authored by Jenny Goldstein, chief development officer of the American Technion Society. In my last blog post, I wrote that philanthropy is most powerful when it is connected to meaning. As fundraisers and storytellers, our responsibility is not simply to celebrate Israel’s achievements.

Each experience deepened my understanding of…
