“Together we are transforming Jewish tradition and values into action.”
Dear Friend, Each year, the work we do at the Jewish Alliance indeed makes a difference. With today’s changing needs, the Alliance has implemented new initiatives to enrich the quality of life for Jews in Rhode Island, in Israel, and around the world. We’re connecting young families to each other and to the community, inspiring them to participate in Jewish life through Jewish camping, PJ Library, and other networking opportunities. We’re creating a community-wide response to the economically vulnerable, seniors, and many others who need support through our Living on the Edge Initiative. Together we are transforming Jewish tradition and values into action. The pictures, names, and information included in this report tell our story. We are creating a world of philanthropy, activism, and commitment demonstrated through every person listed here. Each donor, volunteer, and leader supports an amazing effort to build a brighter future for the Jewish community. The Alliance is about engaging and inspiring a vibrant and flourishing Jewish community. We infuse your generosity with meaning, address today’s pressing needs, and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges both locally and globally. It is through your support that we continue to build a community that provides a strong Jewish identity for our children, grandchildren, and beyond. We have the power to make a difference in the world, and I am proud, filled with optimism, and energized as I envision our future.
Jeffrey K. Savit President & CEO

Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial Plans for the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial had been underway for more than ten years. Now, with input from Rhode Island’s remaining Holocaust survivors, the Memorial has been built in downtown Providence near the World War I and II Memorials as a place of learning, reflection, and remembrance. It honors the dead and celebrates the living —building a bridge from the past for young people and for all who seek insight, peace, and solace. Special thanks to the following donors who helped turn more than ten years of planning into reality. Helene & Bertram Bernhardt Foundation Bliss Properties & Aram Garabedian David A.
