CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
NORTH CAROLINA---Sardis Plantation resident, Ginny Reel, 41, is an artist who specializes in creating artistic ketubot, Jewish marriage contracts. “Ginny began as an artist and sought out Judaism and Jewish art as her life,” said her husband, Temple Beth El’s Rabbi Jonathan Freirich, 43. When Reel was 14 years old, her family moved to California, and she attended the School of the Arts in San Francisco. Her art teacher, the late Marsha Pannone, recommended Reel for the America-Israel Friendship League (AIFL) program. “When I applied, I didn’t even know how to spell Israel,” said Reel. “I think that’s why they accepted me.” The AIFL program was designed to bring non-Jews from around the country to Israel and promote friendship and knowledge, said Reel.
