Dear Friends,

January is an annual reminder of new beginnings—and specifically of new innovations to address complex community challenges. At JF&CS, innovation is in our DNA. I often say that JF&CS is small enough to be nimble, but large enough to make a difference. And with a wide array of integrated social services under one roof, we are able to create life-changing impact.  

This month, we bring you some of the innovative initiatives we are proud to spearhead—from peer-led support circles in the midst of rising antisemitism, to economic empowerment mentorship for survivors of domestic violence.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our community. Your support enables us to pioneer new approaches while staying true to the Jewish values which guide our work: tzedakah (charity), chessed (loving-kindness), tikkun olam (repairing the world), and hachnasat orchim (welcoming the stranger). 

Please read on for stories of how JF&CS is meeting the needs of the community. 
 

Gail Schulman

Chief Executive Officer
