Did you ever wonder what our Federation Campaign is all about?
A gift to federation changes lives. Every year, Jewish Federations raise nearly $850 million that literally turns the lights on for the world’s 13 million Jews. And behind those numbers, there are people. They are individuals with names, faces and stories. They live in Israel, in the former Soviet Union, in Ethiopia, and in our own community. Your gift restores their hope and dignity, pays for food, medicine and heat, brings them home to Israel.
Each year, thanks to the Annual Campaign, much-needed dollars sustain family services, nursing homes, JCCs, Jewish summer camps, Israel experiences, Hillels, day schools and synagogue programs. And each year, the same money accomplishes less. The federation has time and time again shown how we as a people rise to so many occasions. Be a part of this generous, pluralistic, and big-hearted community. Live Generously. It will do a world of good.
