THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.

WE BELIEVE IN EACH OTHERWe believe that no child should go to bed hungry. That every senior has the right to live with dignity. And that all Jews should be able to live—anywhere in the world—without fear of persecution.

That’s why the Jewish Federation’s annual fund-raising campaign is focused on helping people in need, rescuing people in danger, and keeping Jewish life strong.

We believe in the power of community. We believe that together we can make the world a better place. And we have the track record to prove it.

LOVE EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH WE’VE NEVER MET.

Every day, the Jewish Federation supports programs that feed, clothe, shelter, counsel and rescue thousands of people here at home, in Israel and around the world. It’s our responsibility. It’s our privilege. It’s who we are.

This year, with unemployment levels at historic highs, and families and seniors struggling to meet their most basic needs, more people are turning to us for help than ever before. And together, we have the power to make an impact.

IF YOU NEED HELP, WE CAN HELP YOU. IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE DO.

LOVE EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH WE’VE NEVER MET.

We believe everyone should have enough to eat, so we are reinvigorating food banks and delivering more meals than ever. In Israel, where the price of cottage cheese sparked a social justice movement, we’re serving lunch to children who don’t get much breakfast or dinner. Around the world, we’re expanding an innovative food card program that offers freedom of choice. But emergency programs are struggling to meet growing needs. In Israel, more than 200,000 families don’t have enough to eat. In Russia and Eastern Europe, home to the poorest Jews in the world, we don’t have the resources to feed all who are hungry. We believe we can do more to fight hunger. And we need your help.

We believe every Jewish senior deserves to be healthy, independent and active. And when they need more hands-on care, we will be there for them. Federation funds programs here and in Israel that bring services to the elderly right in their homes and neigh-borhoods, so they can stay connected to community while getting the help they need. In Russia and Eastern Europe, we fund more than 160 Hesed centers that provide life-saving medical care, home care and winter relief to 168,000 impover-ished elderly Jews. Seniors everywhere are among the most vulner-able during an economic crisis. More than 60,000 elderly Jews in Eastern Europe have been cut from Federation-funded pro-grams due to lack of funds. In Israel, 100,000 Holocaust survivors live below the poverty line. How can we turn away?

IN TIMES OF CRISIS, WE RESPONDWe believe we have a responsibility to one another and to all mankind. And we believe in our power to make a difference. During natural disasters and humanitarian crises, we’re often the first on the ground providing aid, comfort and support.

SOUTH & MIDWEST TORNADOES 2011 + 2012 We helped get medical care to victims and are providing ongoing recovery assistance.

HAITI EARTHQUAKE $4.8 million / 2010Donations from Federation donors were sent to Haiti through JDC, American

Jewish World Service, and IsraAid, and used to fund critical supplies used by the Israeli army field hospital.

CARMEL FOREST FIRES $2.7 million / 2010 Our dollars were allocated for respite camps, trauma relief and direct assistance to victims’ families.

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE $1 million / 2011 Donors turned to Federa-tion as soon as they heard about the devastation.

Our overseas partner JDC joined forces with the Israeli army to open a field hospital. And we continue to provide counseling to victims.

In difficult times, our values and traditions keep us going. At Federation, even as we focus on increased needs for humanitarian services, we know that Jews around the world are feeling renewed excitement about being part of the Jewish people.

Together we can help fulfill their dreams—and yours—whether that means traveling to Israel to visit, volunteer or study; becoming a Jewish leader on campus; learning Hebrew or sending a child to a Jewish preschool or camp.

No family should have to choose between paying the rent and paying for a child’s Jewish education, or between summer camp and a family trip to Israel. That’s why we’re investing in the strength of our people by making experiences that build Jewish identity available to everyone.

Federation funds preschools, day schools, synagogues and JCCs that are centers for Jewish life and learning in our community. We help send young people to Israel on Birthright trips and other programs. And we offer scholarships and subsidies to ease the high cost of Jewish life.

Whether you connect to the power of community through love of Israel or love of learning, through social action or social events, you are a valued member of our Jewish family.

AROUND THE

In Russia and other Eastern European countries, where Jewish life was nearly wiped out, we are nurturing an exciting resurgence of Jewish identity, rebuilding institu-tions, and preparing the next generation of leaders. Over 10,000 children now attend Jewish day school. Summer camps and Hillels are inspiring a life-long love for Israel and the Jewish people. And community centers through-out the region are filled with people learning their first words of Hebrew.

Even in Israel, where Jewish life might seem to be a given, we’re helping to ensure that the next generation and the generations beyond stay committed to their Jewish identity. We fund innovative programs that help young Israelis connect with the global Jewish People, and we help new immigrants from all over the world succeed as Israeli citizens.

THE VALUE OFDIGNITY AND HOPEYour donation to Federation reaches into every corner of the global Jewish community in more than 70 countries around the world, inspiring lifelong Jewish connections, break-ing the cycle of poverty, and responding to emergencies. To us, that’s invaluable.

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee The American Jew-ish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) is the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian assistance organization. Since 1914, JDC has exemplified glob-ally the principle that all Jews are responsible for one another. On behalf of North America’s Jewish communities and others, today JDC works in more than 70 countries and in Israel to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, create lasting connections to Jewish life, and provide immedi-ate relief and long-term development support for victims of natural and man-made disasters.

The Jewish AgencyFounded in 1929, The Jewish Agency for Israel was instrumental in found-ing and building the State of Israel. Today, the Jewish Agency continues to serve as the official link between the Jewish State and world Jewish communities, bringing Jews to Israel and Israel to Jews. Its mission is to secure the Jewish future by ad-dressing the critical chal-lenges of our time: grow-ing detachment of young Jews from Israel and the global Jewish family; increasing social gaps in Israel; and Jews at risk in the Diaspora and Israel. The Jewish Agency ad-dresses these challenges by building meaningful connections with Israel through local community activities and Israel experi-ences, advancing pluralism and Jewish unity, promot-ing social activism in Israel

Our Community of PartnersWe are a part of the Jewish Federations, the leading Jewish philanthropy in North America. Our extensive network of partners and agen-cies enable us to save, care for and reach out to so many people at home, in Israel and around the world.
