When Mark Kreditor moved to Dallas from Boston in 1981, it was surely a gift to the local Jewish community. Mark and his wife Carol were among the
founders of the JCC Bagel Run over 30 years ago, and continue to participate each Mother's Day. "Currently, my passion is for our Jewish Federation of
Greater Dallas, of which I'm so honored to be the board chair." Mark has also served on the boards of the JCC, Yavneh Academy, Levine Academy and
CHAI. He also serves on the board of the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The Kreditors are members of Shearith Israel and have affiliate memberships
at Beth Torah, Anshai Torah, literal Israel and Shaare Tefilla. A talented singer and musician, Mark's creativity knows no bounds and he shares his gifts
frequently by performing for seniors and other charitable causes. He loves 20th-century Jewish history and has taught weekly classes at Aaron Family
JCC for 15-plus years. He focuses on songwriters, movie producers and—this semester—comedians, all, of course, Jewish. Jewish communal work
is a family affair for the Kreditor family. Carol has served on and led numerous boards in her own right. Daughter Rose is the assistant area director of
AIPAC in Dallas. Recently, the Kreditors'newlywed daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Ethan, moved back to Dallas. Mark is thrilled.
"We are a close family and love to do things as a family," he says. And the Dallas Jewish community is lucky to have them.

JERUSALEM — Israeli leaders sent
messages of support to the United
States in the wake of a Texas church
shooting that left at least 26 people
dead.
“Horrified by the savagery in
Texas,” Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said in a
statement that his office also tweeted.
“Our hearts are with the victims,
their families and the American
people.”
President Reuven Rivlin, on an
official visit to Spain, also tweeted his
concern.
“Terrible news coming out of
#Texas. Our thoughts and prayers
are with all the victims and their
families,” he wrote.
Several local Jewish congregations
responded, including Shearith Israel.
“The act of mass murder in
a house of God is a particularly
heinous and unspeakable crime,” the
synagogue’s press release stated. “We
pray that the families who mourn the
loss of loved ones will find comfort
and consolation. We pray that God
will send healing to all those who
have been injured.”
The Rabbinical Council
America responded, as well.
“The murder of every human
being, each created in the divine
image, is the ultimate tragedy,” said
Rabbi Elazar Muskin, president of the
RCA. “This tragedy is compounded
by the violation and desecration of a
house of worship.”
A gunman opened fire Sunday
morning at the First Baptist Church
in Sutherland Springs, southeast of
San Antonio. The congregation had
just begun its service.
The gunman has been identified
