Dear Friend,

Each and every day, year after year, the work we do at the Jewish Alliance indeed changes the world.

We’re connecting young families to each other and to the community, inspiring them to explore opportunities to participate in Jewish life. We’re creating a community-wide safety net for the economically vulnerable, seniors, and many others who need support. Together we are transforming Jewish values into tangible deeds.

The pictures, names, and information included in this report tell the story of the world we are creating. A world of philanthropy, activism, and commitment demonstrated through every person listed here. Each donor, volunteer, and leader supports an amazing effort to build a brighter future for the greater good.

The Alliance is about shaping our future and creating a Jewish community of joy, purpose, and engagement. We infuse your generosity with meaning, address today’s pressing needs, and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges, both locally and globally. It is through your generosity that we continue to build a community that provides a strong Jewish identity for our children, grandchildren, and beyond.

I look forward to the days ahead—steeped in the promise of our community’s compassion and rich diversity.

Jeffrey K. SavitPresident & CEO

Living on the EdgeThe Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, with the support of Alan Hassenfeld, commissioned Brandeis University’s Steinhardt Social Research Institute to put together a report entitled Living on the Edge: Economic Insecurity among Jewish Households in Greater Rhode Island. The research showed that half of the Jewish households in communities served by the Alliance face economic difficulties.

The following donors generously contributed to a fund that will allow the Alliance and our community partners to respond to the growing economic crisis facing Jewish households in greater Rhode Island.
