Devra Shutan

HONORING DEVRA SHUTAN

This year we are recognizing Devra for her long-standing commitment to Response for Teens and the greater Jewish community. Devra’s profound allegiance to Tikkun Olam is demonstrated through her prominent volunteer work, deep engagement with Holocaust survivors, missions to Ukraine and Israel, and leadership roles at Jewish Children’s Bureau (now JCFS Chicago) and Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Chicago (JUF). Devra served as JUF’s President of the Young Women’s Board, Campaign Chair of Women’s Philanthropy and board Vice Chair. Devra lives with her husband, Gregg, in Highland Park where they raised three children, Noah, Ellory and Macy.

We are pleased to present the Chicago Chapter of HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir, for a special performance. HaZamir welcomes Jewishly identified and musically talented teens from a broad range of backgrounds and levels of religious observance.
