TOGETHER WE WILL RISE

THANK YOU! On behalf of the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester, our global affiliate network and the entire Jewish community, thank you for your generous support in the face of unprecedented challenges. BECAUSE OF YOU WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE A RECORD-BREAKING $6.5 MILLION through our fundraising efforts, including $4.3 million for the Annual Campaign and additional funds for COVID relief and recovery and ROCStrong, our security campaign. Thank you for entrusting us with this sacred work and for your dedication to making an impact here in Rochester, Israel and throughout the world.
