Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford 2018 Roll of Honor from the Chair of the Board

HINENI JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER HARTFORD 2018 ROLL OF HONOR FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD

Dear friends,

Inherent to the life of any community organization is the need to remain vital and to fulfill its mission. But what happens when the community itself begins to change? Programs and activities that once galvanized a community may no longer draw the same interest. Your Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford is committed to the survival and vibrancy of the Jewish community – and our leadership, programs and grantmaking help to ensure its vitality here, in Israel and around the world. We also recognize that it’s crucial to remain relevant. And as a convener and funder, we are committed to helping our partners remain relevant too.

We worked hard during 2018 to ensure Federation’s relevance today and in the future. Several months ago we undertook a strategic planning process, forming the Community 21 Task Force with support from the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford. Our goal is to deploy Federation’s resources as strategically as possible in order to help create and sustain a vibrant future for Jewish Greater Hartford. A diverse group of task force members is evaluating our community’s evolving needs and identifying how Federation can meet them most effectively. They have sought input from leaders at Federation’s partner agencies and local synagogues as well as from folks who are less involved. They intend to address the needs of our multifaceted Jewish community: newcomers and longtime residents, young adults and seniors, individuals and families, people in need, and those in interfaith relationships. We expect to present recommendations to the Board in late spring or early summer.

Another 2018 highlight was our HINENI event on October 4. HINENI, as many of you know, means “Here I am” in Hebrew. We wanted to convey the value of the Federation movement to the wider community in a concrete way. HINENI included powerful firsthand accounts of Federation’s response to crisis situations: Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas; the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland, Florida; and Hurricane Maria, which brought more than 2,600 people from the Caribbean to Greater Hartford to start a new life. It was an incredibly impactful, emotional and meaningful evening, as the 500-plus attendees attested.

This work will continue throughout 2019. We’re holding a series of small group HINENI Community Conversations to explore and discuss the work made possible by your Annual Campaign contributions. The first conversation focused on the Jewish Agency’s efforts to build positive

In January, a delegation of 36 local Jews and Christians, both Black and white, participated in the four-day Interfaith Freedom and Justice Ride Whether your gift is to Alabama. They visited Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham, stopping at historic sites of the large or small, we are Civil Rights Movement, attending church and synagogue services and hearing from residents profoundly grateful for who remember the 1960s.

The group hopes to continue its work through joint advocacy and educational programs.

Dear friends, Federation can only do its work because of your generosity. Whether your gift is large or small, we are profoundly grateful for your commitment to and love of our community. Our work to repair the world through acts of loving kindness is only possible because of you.

With gratitude,

STANDING AGAINST HATE

Federation swung into action immediately after the horrific Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in October 2018, coordinating police patrols of local synagogues and day schools, organizing an interfaith community vigil at Congregation Beth Israel, raising money for Pittsburgh crisis relief and promoting community- wide #SolidarityShabbat services. In early November, Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council organized a security briefing for agency, school and synagogue leadership with experts from the FBI, ADL, the Jewish Federation Association of Connecticut A YEAR OF (JFACT), the West Hartford Police Department and the SAYING HINENI Mandell Jewish Community Center. Federation has helped to secure grants for Jewish communal security since 1999.
