Executive Director Executive Director 2 #BeTheImpact CHELSEA I grew up in a family where philanthropy and donating money to Israel and overseas and Jewish causes was a very important value. I also grew up traveling back and forth to Israel with my family and 3 on organized trips. The culmination of my Israel experiences was the summer I lived in Israel where I met my husband Elliot, who happened to be from the Lehigh Valley. Now we live in the Lehigh Valley, we still have a strong connection to Israel and we’re sending our son to the Lehigh Valley Jewish Community Center so that he can start his education with strong Jewish values and a strong connection to Israel. And that’s my story that inspires me. To build connections with Israel, we were on the front line. We’ve helped send We’ve brought We’ve helped send 125+ LOCAL 120,000+ hundreds of 600,000+ YOUNG TEENS AND YOUNG JEWS LEHIGH VALLEY JEWISH ADULTS YOUNG ADULTS for a year in Israel JEWS on a 10-day trip to have signed up since through the Jewish to Israel on Israel through 2007 to experience Agency’s Masa Federation missions Birthright since 1999 Israel through our program since 2004 through the years VISIT Israel Savings Partnership bringing Israel and the Lehigh Valley together through our partnership with Yoav 4 #BeTheImpact ERIC My daughter came home one day and told us that she wanted to go to a Jewish day school. This was in the 9th grade. And we said OK and we sent her. And the experience for her has been life-changing. She has 5 embraced Jewish values, she has become more knowledgeable about the world, and for all the incredible growth and development she has experienced, the impact on our family has been immeasurable. We’ve all become more knowledgeable and my wife and I decided to make a trip to Israel as a result of my daughter getting excited for her own trip there. And I realized that I want these things to happen and it’s my responsibility to make them happen for both my family and for others as well and that’s why I choose to make an impact by supporting Federation’s annual campaign. To secure our Jewish future, we instilled Jewish values. We’ve sparked Jewish conversations at home for MORE THAN 600 CHILDREN in the Lehigh Valley through PJ Library since 2011 We make Jewish education A FAMILY AFFAIR through programs at local synagogues We support a quality Jewish and general studies education for PRE-K THROUGH 8TH GRADE at the Jewish Day School We’ve helped HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES remain connected to their Judaism and each other at the JCC 6 #BeTheImpact VALESKA I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela – where life for Jews has not always been easy – but I grew up surrounded by a very strong Jewish community and very strong Jewish values. What inspires me 7 is that I saw what my family and all the people around me did for a community and that’s why do what I do in this community. I think it’s very important to give back, I think it’s very important to be involved, especially at this time where things are not exactly very pretty around the world. So I think that’s my main inspiration – my community, my family, my strong values that I got from home. The world is an unstable place. We brought security. We brought We raised money for We brought community We hosted a forum on 40 LOCAL REPAIRS AND agencies together for a COMBATTING BDS COMMUNITY RESTORATION SECURITY for students and MEMBERS after destruction at the PREPAREDNESS their parents and day school students Mount Carmel Cemetery WORKSHOP to Philadelphia in March to stand against hate 8 #BeTheImpact ROBERTA Being a part of this community has been tremendously important and I think about what has inspired me the most, from the beginning, and I always remember a little tzedakah box in my 9 grandmother’s kitchen from early on. As a solicitor for Federation, the statement that solidified my confirmation and need to give more and to ask is the statement that said ‘one Jew is asking a second Jew to help a third Jew.’ And that is truly what tzedakah and Federation is all about. Millions of Jews find every day a struggle. We were a lifeline. We helped feed We helped We’ve provided We’ve helped over 125 FAMILIES 75 JEWISH TENS OF 20,000 ELDERLY PER MONTH OLDER ADULTS THOUSANDS AND CHILDREN here in the Lehigh in the Lehigh Valley of Holocaust survivors in survive winter in the Valley through the receive regular visits the U.S. —one of four of fomer Soviet Union with Jewish Family Service from JFS whom live in poverty— warm clothes, blanket food pantry with home health care, and heating assistance housing, nutrition and transportation services 10 #BeTheImpact KAREN We moved to the Lehigh Valley five years ago and we were quickly integrated into the Jewish community. Within weeks of living here, we were invited to a break fast, I was invited to join the 11 Maimonides Society and we were included in a friend’s Passover seder. It is where my children have also become involved – where my son has joined BBYO, my daughter has joined the junior choir at the synagogue and it is the community where my husband decided to become a Jew by choice. It is for all these reasons that we felt so deeply connected to this community and have wanted to give back. To build a welcoming community, we brought people together.

    JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA 2020 Impact Report I am proud to present you with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s 2020 Impact Report, a detailed account of the support we provide to our communities in light of the extraordinary challenges we are facing, from the COVID-related issues of food insecurity, isolation, financial hardships, mental health and wellness, the escalation of anti-Semitism, and the racial inequities throughout our region. It covers an update about our current work, as well as the Annual Report of the previous fiscal year, September 1, 2018 - August 31, 2019. For more than 119 years, the Jewish Federation has provided an infrastructure of support for Jewish people and organizations in need. Our role as the leading safety net funder of Jewish services in the Greater Philadelphia area, and among the top funders of Greater Philadelphia philanthropic organizations serving all members of our community, has enabled us to mobilize quickly in response to the COVID-19 crisis. So far this year, we have raised and leveraged $2.1 million for emergency relief efforts in addition to the nearly $50 million resourced into our community through our grant making processes, rent subsidies, and partnership with the Foundation for Jewish Day Schools. Given the unique needs of today, Jewish Community Fund dollars are being released to our partner agencies as general operating grants in lieu of program grants to allow flexibility in planning and to support each agency’s greatest demands. At the start of the pandemic in mid-March, our Emergency Response Committee immediately activated.

  • Thank Youfor Being the Start
    2 THANK YOU FOR BEING THE START OF SOMETHING POWERFUL. Dear Friends, This note is a difficult one to write. On the one hand, I want to talk about the many accomplishments of the Federation this year. And I will. But everything that happened took place against a backdrop that created a challenging set of circumstances for our staff, our board, and certainly for me personally. After a year-and-a-half of balancing work and illness, the needs of the Jewish community against personal circumstances, Mark Goldstein, the Federation’s executive director for 16 years and my friend, died of cancer on October 11, 2018. His loss left a gaping hole in our Jewish community. But his leadership, mentorship and commitment to Jewish communal life endures. I am grateful to the staff and volunteers who took up the mantel to ensure that 2017-18 was a successful year for Federation. More successful than ever, in fact, as new project-based giving increased the donations that flowed into the Federation’s campaign. The community celebrated Israel’s 70th year in style, with a months-long series of events that culminated in a giant birthday party at the JCC. We sent our first group of women to Israel in partnership with the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project, and that group continues to give back by becoming increasingly involved in our community. We celebrated an incredibly successful first year in the LIFE & LEGACY program, assuring Jewish tomorrows. It was all possible because of you. I want to thank you sincerely for being the start of something powerful.
