We like to think that when it comes to the Jewish community, we are here for each other. Every hour of every day, thanks to the generosity of you, our trustedb donors and fellow community members, The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, its agencies and programs, are here to nurture and support Jewish life in Baltimore neighborhoods and around the world. We are in Federal Hill and in Pikesville. We are in Reisterstown and Towson. And we are in all the communities in between where there are individuals and families who need a helping hand or are searching for meaningful Jewish experiences. The stories that unfold on these pages represent the scope of The Associated system’s services and highlight the people and the neighborhoods where we are making a difference. We showcase stories of inspiration and hope as well as stories of how we build strong Jewish identity for our next generation. Whether it’s connecting Jewish families living downtown, providing a “Big Sister” to help a young girl gain her self-esteem or offering a wide array of opportunities for seniors to live productive and happy , we strengthen Jewish community each and every day. As you read these stories, know that we are able to be here, because of the commitment of individuals like you. We hope you and your family have a sweet New Year!

Sincerely,

Linda A. Hurwitz Marc B. Terrill Chair of the Board President Towson

Is Where: Jewish life is strengthened and nurtured whether in Greater Baltimore, in Israel or around the world.

Our community’s safety net helps thousands of people in vulnerable life situations.

Families get the help they need to put on the table and grandparents get the support to live out their lives with dignity.

Jewish identity is strengthened through life-changing experiences at camps, day schools, Israel experiences, PJ Library programs, Hillels and JCCs to ensure a vibrant Jewish community.

Jewish values of compassion, generosity and responsibility are actualized by providing donors and foundations a place for sound investment in the present and future Jewish community.

We Transform These Values Into Action: One People/Am Echad – A commitment to Klal Yisrael, the link between Jewish people in Baltimore, Israel and around the world.

Repair The World/Tikkun Olam – Making a positive difference in the world through the pursuit of social justice.

Respect – A diverse Jewish community that is respectful, accessible and welcoming.

Education – Lifelong Jewish learning and experiences.

Engagement – Active participation of people in the many facets of Jewish life.

Innovation – Creative approaches to solving community issues.

Collaboration – A network of strong local and overseas partners that provides for the social service, cultural, health and educational needs of Jews in Baltimore, Israel and throughout the world.
