Despite these challenges, we were still able to close our 009 JUF Annual Campaign at $77.5 million—but this was a 7.4% decrease from the previous year. Few communities in the nation achieved such a modest decline, and we are truly grateful for the steadfast generosity of our donors and for the extraordinary leadership of General Campaign Chairman Doug Cohen. However, every dollar we didn’t raise was a dollar we couldn’t put to work helping those in need in Chicago, in Israel and across the globe. Thus, in fiscal 00 Federation cut our own budget by 6.5%, and were compelled to also reduce our agency core allocations by 6.5%. At this time of great communal need, we are proud to report that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 00, this institution This was the first time in decades that our fundraising totals was able to allocate a total of $39,774,45. This includes have decreased from one year to the next. And at the same $50,539,4 through the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan time, other sources of income for Federation and our agencies Chicago, provided to local agencies and programs that have been impacted by the economy as well. Our endowment benefit 300,000 Chicagoans of all faiths at every stage of life; distributions are down and our United Way funding has $35,740,0 through the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan declined precipitously—by nearly one-third within the past Chicago, devoted to overseas needs that benefit million Jews year alone. And as we all know, the State of Illinois’ budget in Israel and 70 countries across the globe; and $53,494,903 has been slashed to the bone, meaning that tens of millions allocated to charitable ventures worldwide in partnership with of dollars in funding remain at risk, while State payments our Donor Advised Continuity Funds, which include Family for already-delivered services are many months overdue. Philanthropic Funds and Support Foundations. Federation is helping to keep our communal agencies solvent by providing them with millions of dollars in bridge loans, but this is not a long-term solution to the funding crisis.

Through J-HELP, even at a time of declining ever, the JUF Annual Campaign is the community’s primary resources, 4% more people received food and 0% more bedrock of support. families received emergency cash assistance than prior to the recession. As of June 30, 00: • 5,700 families received more than $3. million in emergency financial assistance from JUF-funded agencies to pay for food, housing, healthcare and other critical expenses. • 4,000 unduplicated individuals received food from a range of sources, including EZRA and The ARK food pantries, Maot Chitim distributions, the JUF Uptown Café and the CJE SeniorLife home-delivered meals program. • 8,9 unemployed individuals received critical employment assistance. • Nearly ,700 students—66% of enrolled students— received tuition financial assistance at 6 local Jewish day schools. • 676 children received scholarships for JCC camping and early childhood programming—a 5% increase over last year. • 54 local congregational rabbis received grants to augment their rabbinic discretionary funds and allow them to assist more congregants in crisis. J-HELP was intended as a stopgap measure. However, when it became clear that JUF’s 009 campaign would not reach the bar raised in 008, and that 00 also was proving a challenge, leadership sat down with some of JUF’s very top donors to seek guidance about how to safeguard the community in the coming two years. Earthquake Relief JUF’s principal donors determined that action had to be Chicago’s Jewish community once again harnessed that taken to protect the most vulnerable in the near term. Their collective generosity in January, when a catastrophic solution was to connect J-HELP needs to a supplemental fund earthquake devastated the impoverished island nation of supported by JUF’s top donors.

It shows how the Jewish community in rebuilding Haiti, which shone an international spotlight on is so much more than the sum of our parts, and how all of us Jewish values in action. can have a greater impact working together than each of us would have working alone. 3 On behalf of that unified community, JUF/Federation stands tall for Jewish ideals and interests. And it is your support of JUF that enables us to translate that unity into real action through a multi-faceted Israel advocacy program on campuses, in the media, and in the halls of power. Looking to the Future The cataclysmic economy and turbulent world affairs both underscore the importance of JUF/Federation, which is strong, stable, and poised to quickly mobilize resources and respond to emerging challenges. The JUF Annual Campaign is our lifeblood; at this time of profound community need, it is imperative that this year’s fund raising effort gains momentum, which can happen only if each community member steps to the plate and assumes responsibility for being a part of it.

His paper “ The Law ofT Cause and Effect as Taught by the Buddha” attracted the attention of Paul Cams and the subsequent friendship between Shaku SOen and Cams led di­ rectly to D. T.
