We hope to see you at our September events. We look forward to opening a new exhibit in Federation's Roe Green Gallery, welcoming an Israeli expert on the Israel/Gaza war to share his insight, volunteering prior to the holidays at a local Jewish cemetery, and more.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland is launching the 2025 Campaign for Jewish Needs on Sunday, September 8 with a Super Sunday Kickoff event for the entire community! The Campaign for Jewish Needs is the Cleveland Jewish community’s annual fundraising campaign that provides the critical dollars necessary to help keep our diverse, local community safe, strong, and welcoming, as well as serve the needs of the global Jewish community.

After the devastation that occurred on October 7, Cleveland immediately stepped up to help the communities impacted by the attacks. Cleveland has since established a partnership with Kibbutz Kissufim, a community in the Gaza envelope that suffered a great deal of damage on October 7. In April, several volunteers from Cleveland traveled to Israel and spent two days helping rebuild Kibbutz Kissufim. Cleveland and Israeli volunteers from our sister community of Beit Shean/Valley of Springs were able to exchange stories, laugh together, and build hope while gardening and cleaning the Kissufim community.

As Israel came under attack from Iran early on April 14, many Clevelanders were visiting the Jewish state on missions through the Jewish Federation of Cleveland in Beachwood.

Participants on the Jewish Federation of Cleveland Volunteer Mission to Israel are participating in hands-on volunteer projects that meet pressing needs, and experiencing how Cleveland supports Israel in times of peace and war.

We hope to see you at our April events. This month, we are hosting a community-wide run/walk to honor those killed or kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, a self-defense training from JFC Security, LLC, and more.

Join together to make a difference in our community as part of Good Deeds Day, a global day of volunteerism by creating positive change in our community and in our world. Since 2007, Good Deeds Day has united millions of volunteers from 108 countries for service opportunities that benefit people and the planet.

We hope to see you at our March events. This month, PJ Library® children are invited to bring their grandparents or a special person to a fun-filled morning with PJ Library, community members can attend a security training, and more.

Travelers will bear witness, participate in hands-on volunteer projects that meet pressing needs, and experience how Cleveland supports Israel in times of peace and war. See how the Campaign for Jewish Needs and Israel Emergency Campaign dollars are supporting Israelis through unprecedented times.
