Making the world a better place is a big job.
That’s why we partner with a broad network of organizations that share our values and priorities. We like to think of these amazing partner organizations as falling into four essential impact areas: Jewish Education, Jewish Identity & Engagement, Caring Community, and Overseas & Israel. Read on to find out how each of these areas helps us empower, engage, and inspire every corner of our local and global Jewish community.
Our vision is to create a Jewish community where students, educators, and families can deepen their Jewish identity in an environment that is inclusive and accessible. By investing in our local schools, we’re investing in our collective Jewish future; so when you give to the community campaign, you’re making that future even brighter.
