Case for Giving

Our Future Is Bright

A Vision for The Community

A Jewish Community of Broward County that is flourishing, welcoming and inclusive for all.

A community where post pandemic increased needs surrounding mental health, food insecurity, elderly isolation, job placement and financial hardship can be assessed and addressed in a more comprehensive way.

A community that invests in programs that foster stronger Jewish identity and connection to Israel for teens and young people, supports families with young children in their Jewish journeys and enhances Jewish life for all.

A community where the Jewish Federation serves as the leader for identifying issues, fostering collaboration and identifying forward thinking innovative solutions.

We are a community committed to:

Strengthening Jewish Identity by ensuring that Jews of all ages can experience and explore their connection to Jewish history, Jewish tradition and Jewish community.

Serving the Most Vulnerable by caring for the elderly, serving those most at risk, embracing those with differing abilities and ensuring that no one is left behind.

Responding to Emergencies

responding in unexpected times of need with financial resources, volunteers & experts to address critical and pressing concerns.

Supporting Israel and World Jewry

by connecting our communities, renewing Jewish life around the world and providing life saving relief to Jews at-risk.

• The needs are greater than ever before. We must continue to support the most vulnerable among us and ensure they can live safe, supported, accessible lives with dignity.

• The challenges resulting from the pandemic, war in Ukraine and the economic downturn have created significantly more Jewish need. Without an increase in resources raised, flat contributions won’t meet as many needs as they have before.

To be a flourishing and vibrant community we must address the needs of our next generation by offering relevant and meaningful vehicles of engagement and community connection.

In order to more significantly address the needs of our community and reach heights we have only imagined were possible, we must raise more dollars.

We are a community that…

• Responds and mobilizes in times of crisis so that emergency needs can be immediately addressed.

• Cares for the vulnerable, elderly and at-risk and embraces those with special needs.

• Honors and supports holocaust survivors to ensure they can live out their lives with dignity and compassion.

• Fights against antisemitism and prioritizes the safety and security of its citizens, institutions, schools and synagogues.

• Invests in young people so they may build deeper connections to Jewish life, Israel and each other.

• Improves life for Jews in Israel and supports Jewish communities around the world.

• Creates opportunities for engagement where community members can start and maintain Jewish journeys.

• Collaborates with and convenes other Jewish organizations to identify challenges and source innovative solutions that best utilize community resources.

The Need Is Great. The Strength of Our Community Is Greater.
