    www.dallasjewishcommunityscan.org RepoRt to the community presented by thank you to paRticipants The Dallas Jewish Community Scan: Awareness, Perceptions, and Needs Fifty Jewish agencies, congregations, and organizations in our Greater dallas community came together for a joint effort of discovery. Thank you to our many community leaders and participants who over the past year made that possible. the dallas Jewish Community scan drew honest and thoughtful responses from almost 5,000 individuals, representing one of the largest surveys of a major Jewish community in the country! this process was truly about our Jewish Community with emphasis on the word “Jewish”. What are Jews in dallas aware of when it comes to their Jewish options? What perceptions do we have about those options and do we use them? Lastly, what needs do we have, and are they being met by Jewish service providers? Our community’s responses to the scan are shedding light on the answers. Already, each of the participating organizations has received valuable information about their constituencies and where we have challenges and opportunities going forward. • February through March 2013: Fifty community groups were educated and recruited to participate in the scan, indicating their commitment through signed Letters of Understanding. • April into May: the scan was drafted and tested using multiple focus groups, while agency databases were collected and refined resulting in 25,000 valid email addresses and new information appended for agency’s use (e.g., age, income, etc.) • Through May: the scan was marketed through each of the participating agencies, as well as through targeted media, to drive up participation following the May 27 launch.
