OUR INITIATIVES

We’re lucky to have a robust Jewish community with options galore. But let’s face it: the cost of Jewish life can add up. The Minneapolis Jewish Federation offers a number of needs-based scholarships to assist with the cost of Israel travel, education, and camp tuition.

The past few days have been extraordinarily difficult. Tragedies in our backyard and halfway across the globe have been widely reported and are at the forefront of our minds. Please consider a donation to have an immediate impact. 100 percent of the proceeds will go directly to Rehovot to a variety of organizations who will use it well, including JAFI’s Fund for Victims of Terror, United Hatzalah, JDC, and the Municipality itself. We know there will be long-term needs, and we will continue to address them.
