THE JEWISH FEDERATION
funds & supports a comprehensive network of organizations that do two things: CARE FOR PEOPLE IN NEED
here at home, in Israel and around the world.
NURTURE & SUSTAIN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY today and for future generations.
By working with a broad cross-section of community members to raise and distribute funds, we ensure that the programs, institutions and values that enrich our Jewish community remain vibrant and strong. From feeding the hungry to 2
helping the unemployed, from supporting families with special needs to funding Jewish education and Israel experiences, the Jewish Federation is focused on addressing the most pressing issues facing our community every day.
A MESSAGE from our leadership Dear Friends, In early spring, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs responded to our request to host their first-ever Jewish Heritage Night. Then they wanted to know what should they serve? How should they go about selling tickets? What games and music should be featured? As the central “address” for the Jewish community, they turned to the Federation for help. We coordinated with our fellow Jewish agencies and offered our advice and assistance. Over 750 people ate kosher hot dogs and wore blue hats with“IronPigs” written in Hebrew at Jewish Heritage Night at Coca-Cola Park on May 22. It’s just another example of how our Federation is seen as a pivotal, impactful organization, both within the community and outside of it. This year alone, we successfully advocated through the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition for improved Holocaust education in public schools. Our Holocaust Resource Center Legacy Exhibit was featured at the Sigal Museum in Easton for the entire month of September before heading back out on its school “tour.” When unrest broke out in Ukraine, Federation partners were able to immediately offer relief to those in need. Through our donations, aid workers were able to be on the front lines, providing food, medicine and winter relief to homebound seniors. When the situation worsened, we helped those who could get out to do so. Here at home, we launched Jewish Senior Life Connection this year to better address the needs of a growing senior population. Through The GO Program, seniors now have access to quality transportation and can stay active and connected to the Jewish
community. In the coming year we will be expanding social programs for seniors at the Jewish Community Center and Jewish Family Service. We launched a new website this year to better strategically present the Federation to donors and community members. A separate planned giving website features unique tools for those looking to create a plan that’s best for them.
Barry J. Halper
Speaking of planned giving, we truly upped the ante with our endowment fund this year, securing $1 million in new commitments. The community endowment fund is our future, and we are proud that it looks so bright. None of what we do would be possible without each and every one of our donors. You make it possible for children to have a quality Jewish education here in Allentown. Because of you, we are able to care for our seniors and provide nourishment for those who need it. Your support of our Annual Campaign for Jewish Needs directly impacts Jews in Israel, making their lives safer and more fulfilling. You rescue Jews around the world every day, and foster a sense of community that should only be everlasting. On behalf of the Jewish community here at home, in Israel and around the world, let us say todah rabah for everything you do.
Mark L. Goldstein
Thank you for your ongoing support.

...AND AROUND the world
• Through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, we impact millions of lives in more than 70 countries. The JDC works to save the world’s poorest Jews, revitalize Jewish life, empower Israel’s future, develop tomorrow’s Jewish leaders and rescue victims of global emergencies. • Through the Jewish Agency for Israel, we inspire Jews throughout the world to connect with their people, heritage and land. The Jewish Agency brings young Jews to Israel for life-changing experiences and involves them in social activism both in Israel and abroad. At the same time, it facilitates aliyah for those who choose to make Israel their home, reconnects FSU Jewry with their Jewish roots, rescues Jews in distress, cares for “lone soldiers” in the Israel Defense Forces and responds to global Jewish crises.
• Through Taglit-Birthright Israel, we have given over 400,000 participants from across the globe the gift of a 10-day educational trip to Israel with their peers. The trips are a life-changing experience that make Jews feel closer to Israel and to their Jewish heritage.
The Jews of Mumbai Through a Jewish Federationsupported program, the Jews of Mumbai have the opportunity to celebrate Indian and global Jewish culture. They gather to learn the art of Israeli cooking and discuss the future of the Jewish community in India.
The Jewish Agency’s Partnership 2Gether program provides a special opportunity for the Lehigh Valley Jewish community to connect with Jews in Yoav, Israel, and provide support to enrich their lives. • Through World ORT, we provide individuals worldwide with the skills and knowledge necessary to foster economic self-sufficiency, mobility and a sense of identity through the use of state-of-the-art technology.

UKRAINE Assistance Fund It started in November with peaceful protests against government actions to strengthen political ties with Russia instead of the European Union. It snowballed over the next few months into violent confrontations between police and protestors, resulting in dozens dead, hundreds injured, and scenes of destruction that gripped the world. Although the estimated 300,000 Jewish residents in the capital city of Kiev and throughout Ukraine were not outright targets of violence, the crisis touched them like everyone else. Countless thousands of Jews, including many of the most vulnerable, have fled the war-torn eastern region with the help of our overseas partner, The Jewish Agency for Israel, which has already seen a 151 percent increase in aliyah from Ukraine during the first half of 2014 The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee is caring for those who are too sick or fragile to leave, providing food packages, medicine and other necessities. While a strong network of support was already on the ground thanks to donations from our Annual Campaign and Jewish communities across North America, more than $1 million in emergency funding allowed our partners to respond to the urgent needs resulting from this situation.
Living in dismal poverty, Izabella and Boris spend their entire winter huddled together in their kitchen because it's the only room with heat in their dilapidated apartment in the slums of Odessa, Ukraine. The couple has no money to move; they cannot even afford food. Nearly blind, Izabella had to leave her field of stenography for a cleaning job – but as her health deteriorated, she could no longer work. The tiny pension the couple has to live on is not enough to survive.

Even in the face of the ongoing crisis, we are able to continue supporting Izabella and Boris with food cards, medicine, winter relief and minor household repairs.
DISASTER RELIEF When Typhoon Haiyan devistated the Phillipines in November, killing at least 4,000 and displacing 4 million people, we partnered with Jewish communities across North America to raise nearly half a million dollars for emergency relief. In the wake of severe flooding in Colorado, we again came together to support those in need.
PENNSYLVANIA’S Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program Through its participation in Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley has been able to distribute over $1.5 million in scholarships benefitting low-income families at the Jewish Community Center of Allentown and the Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley. The scholarships are awarded to children from families whose household incomes meet the Commonwealth’s guidelines. ABS Lines VA, Inc. Allen Organ Company American Bank Embassy Bank
Businesses can donate to the program at virtually no cost. Pennsylvania provides generous tax credits, upwards of 90% to 100%, for participation in the EITC program. The charitable contributions also qualify for the Federal tax deduction.

UNDER THE SAME MOON Building connections with the people of Israel
One of our many Partnership2Gether projects this year revolved around a book called “The Same Moon.” The program connected second graders at Temple Beth El and third graders in the Yoav Regional Council of Israel. The Same Moon project was the brainchild in 2012 of Adi Shacham, an Israeli shlicha working with the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. Shacham’s goal was to find a way for families to learn that despite distance, the worlds of Israeli and United States Jewish families are very similar. This year, students at Temple Beth El participated in the program, and it will be expanded to other synagogues in the coming year. With the help of their parents, second graders wrote monthly letters to their pen pals and met through video conferences. “The Same Moon” book included envelopes into which families could place the letters, pictures and any other momentos that their “across the ocean” families sent over. The colorfully illustrated book provided information and commentary to assist the families in preparing their letters and in appreciating the concept of being apart yet similar. The use of both Hebrew and English further underscored the concept. Also in the coming year, a new school twinning project will commence between the Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley and a Yoav elementary school. 10

INSTILLING JEWISH FAMILY VALUES
We love PJ Library! Over the years, we have read to our kids about G-d, taught them about our holidays, laughed about Baxter the pig who wanted to be kosher and so much more. Plus, you can’t beat how excited the kids get when the big blue and white envelope shows up in the mailbox. Thank you, PJ Library! - TOM AND SARAH MORSE
