  • Jewish Communal Fund's Generous Donors Had A
    his has been a record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund, the donor-advised fund of the Jewish community of greater New York. We are very pleased that our donors distributed almost $300 million to thousands of worthy charities during the fiscal year Tending June 30, 2011. This represents the largest amount and number of grants recommended in a single year during JCF’s nearly four decade existence. Moreover, this extraordinary generosity was manifested in the midst of a prolonged economic downturn, while charities are struggling and especially grateful for the grants that have allowed them to maintain their necessary contribution to society. The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with professional and efficient personal service—and the philanthropic community has taken notice. JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator. We were honored to be the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list, at No. 35. JCF also ranked third in The Chronicle’s list of most money raised among New York-based organizations. On the personnel front, Ellen Israelson recently was appointed Vice President of Marketing and Donor Relations, replacing our longtime staff member Abby Tucker, who relocated after 13 years of dedicated service. Ellen will expand JCF’s marketing efforts and oversee the development of services for all donors, including enhanced services for the Private Client division. IFT L We also engaged Michelle Lebowits to lead JCF’s Center for Next Generation Philanthropy— the gateway for young Jews in their 20s and 30s to become involved in philanthropy.

  • Destiny 2 Eater of Worlds Guide
    Destiny 2 eater of worlds guide Continue For all of you tenacious D Instructablers, here's a cool way to make your own POD. There are a few nuances of PODs online. Get someone who's talking to you. If you follow the instructions from a tablet, iPod or smartphone, it will benefit you. There are several different plastic materials as you can use. I used polycarbonate, but you can use acrylic, plexiglass, etc. POD made from mirror lucite can be sweet too. (Note: Everything you choose to use should be 1/8th inch thick. Using a thin point sharpie MARKER, trace your design on plastic. If you're using the device, just put it on the screen. Your device will be fine. Draw it in its entirety, not just your plan. I recommend drawing it on the corner of your plastic to save space and make cutting easier. Cut your POD design with your Dremel. Simply square around your POD and cut the square. Then, carefully cut the shape. Use a grinding disc attachment. Or, if you have a Dremel friendly circular saw blades, it's even better. Make sure your incision is free of burrs, plastic strings, or bark. Using the dot tip of your choice, drill your lines. Once all your lines are defined and your satisfied, clean all the leftovers and plastic bits on your POD. Using the Dremel brush attachment, shrug off the insides of your lines. It'll make everything smooth. Be graceful or you scratch your POD. To remove your sharpie lines, use some Ajax or comet or other bleach powder.

  • REVIEWS May/June 2017 Volume VII, No
    Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS May/June 2017 Volume VII, No. 2 In The Spotlight Gilani-Williams, Fawzia. Yaffa and Fatima, Shalom, Salaam. Illus. by Chiara Fedel. Minneapolis: Kar-Ben, 2017. 24 pp. $17.99. (9781467789387) HC. Kindergarten - Gr. 3. In this unique retelling of the classic “Brothers” legend, the title characters are two women - one Jewish, one Muslim—living side-by- side in Jerusalem. The women work together harvesting dates, and often share meals. They practice their faiths, which the book lovingly compares. When the crop fails one season, the two women search for ways to help each other through a difficult time. Of course, each is doing the same thing for the other – secretly placing dates in a basket on her neighbor’s porch. Upon discovery, they hug, laugh and share a meal. This version of the story is well told and strongly supports the Jewish values of kindness to strangers and hospitality. The language is simple, short and sweet, perfect for story time. The artwork provides a beautiful portrayal of “the Land of Milk and Honey” in muted tones of teal, maroon, and brown. As a delightful depiction of true friendship, a beautiful book about Israel, and a wonderful retelling of an old story, this is a must have for any Jewish library.

  • Jewish Donor Charitie a Recor $272
    e are privileged to continue serving the Jewish community by providing an easy and efficient vehicle to streamline charitable giving and facilitate philanthropy. This has been another record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF). WA leader in the world of Jewish philanthropy, JCF continues to be the largest and most active Jewish donor advised fund in the country, managing $1.2 billion in charitable assets. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 our diverse donor base granted more than $270 million to thousands of not-for-profits in all sectors. In addition to these generous grants recommended by our donors, JCF makes a community gift of $2 million to the UJA-Federation of New York’s Annual Campaign. JCF’s institutional endowment, our Special Gifts Fund, awarded an additional $767,000 in grants to projects and agencies in the New York Jewish community. Among those grants was one for $240,000 to provide day camp scholarships to families impacted by Hurricane Sandy that enabled 276 children to attend day camp. This is the power and impact of our JCF community! The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with outstanding personal service and the philanthropic community has taken notice. Once again, JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator, and we maintained our place as one of the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list. As JCF continues to grow, we know that we must continue to innovate, educate and create new ways to serve our network of donors and the Jewish community.
