Jewish Federation of Western Massachusetts 2011 Annual Report

2011 annual report

Message froM the president

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as the President of the Jewish Federation of Western Massachusetts on behalf of our community. The past two years have given me the opportunity to work with and get to know many terrific people. It was a daunting task taking over the presidency, following in the footsteps of so many effective and thoughtful leaders before me. As

my term began we faced significant economic hardship internationally with Jewish funding needs globally on the rise and resources scarcer than ever. It became clear as I shaped my term as president that the key to success was to bring people together, utilize our resources most efficiently, and create synergies whenever possible. Bringing people and resources together became a goal of our work at Federation, allowing us to reshape our role as not only a fundraising organization, but as a community building agency working with our partners in tandem, for the benefit of the community. In the past two years we have implemented several new programs and initiatives to meet the goal of bringing people together. We have reinvigorated our Young Adult Division, on behalf of the community, to engage and inspire upcoming generations to participate in meaningful ways in the Jewish community. Several participants are already serving on boards and committees in Western Massachusetts. The PJ Library, a national program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, was brought locally under the auspices of Federation. Our local program, now run by Federation, is bringing wonderful books of Jewish content to families around the valley. Federation has been working with all of our agencies and synagogues to help them utilize this program and we have increased the number of families receiving books.

Our other community-wide programs and divisions that are run by Federation, including Rachel’s Table, the Jewish Endowment Foundation, Anna P. Housen Israel Desk and Women’s Philanthropy, continue to grow and flourish and provide the excellent level of service our community has grown to expect. As we strengthen Federation internally, we also work to strengthen our relationships in the Pioneer Valley and there have been several other programs that have helped in this effort. As it became clear that we could simply no longer afford to run the Hatikvah Holocaust Education & Resource Center, after a thorough investigation and committee process, the assets of our Reason To Remember Exhibit were donated to the newly formed Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our local assets are safely being maintained and prepared for display at the Merry and Lyman Wood Springfield History Museum. These exhibits have become a permanent reminder for all of our community of the tragedy of the Holocaust. A new display honoring our local survivors is now prominently displayed in the lobby of the Jewish Community Center (JCC), where it will remain in perpetuity, so that we may never forget. Now operating Jewish programming from their new offices at the JCC, Jewish Family Service is utilizing the space that was formerly Hatikvah. The Create a Jewish Legacy (CJL) program has been an overwhelming success, inspiring 641 people in Western Massachusetts to leave bequests to the Jewish community. Our Jewish Endowment Foundation (JEF) has worked in partnership with our agencies and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation to ensure the success of this initiative. Our Foundation will benefit greatly from this program as funds will be managed and maintained by JEF. And, JEF has proudly funded incentive grants to benefit the agencies participating in CJL. Our Federation has secured 58 new legacy commitments building on our success prior to the legacy program to have over 100 commitments to support the annual campaign and Federation in perpetuity. These gifts will ensure a healthy fiscal future for our community for generations to come. Through the efforts of the Try A Synagogue program in the greater Springfield area, we have helped bring our congregational rabbis and presidents together. This project, funded in part by a grant from the Harold 1

A very optimistic future

Grinspoon Foundation, Federation and the participating synagogues, has helped reconnect people with synagogue life and has inspired our community to think differently about how we welcome people into our synagogues and agencies. Through Try a Synagogue, the expertise of the Jewish Outreach Institute (JOI) workshops locally helped us all work on being warm and welcoming to all people. This initiative has successfully brought more than 80 new families into synagogue life. As tornadoes ravaged Western Massachusetts on June 1, 2011, Federation immediately stepped up to bring the community together to support relief and recovery efforts. In less than two months we raised $25,000 to help local agencies’ recovery efforts. Rachel’s Table, a program of the Federation, raised thousands of pounds of food for immediate needs and raised over $7,000 to purchase food. These combined efforts showcased our deep commitment to the community at large and our mission of tikkun olam – making our world a better place to live. Our work with the United Way of the Pioneer Valley to distribute the funds and our agency partnerships with Rachel’s Table to distribute food played a significant role in our community’s ongoing recovery efforts. As we connect with our local partners we also strengthen our relationship with our overseas institutions, the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). Through the reactivation of our Anna P. Housen Israel Desk, we have forged new relationships valley wide showcasing our deep support of Israel. This was certainly highlighted at our Yom Ha’atzmaut celebrations in the Upper and Lower Valleys. Over 300 people attended our Israel Fair that was held at the National Yiddish Book Center and

the Maccabeats entertained an astounding 650 people at Temple Beth El. The audience was full of people – all ages - celebrating Israel’s birthday. It was an exciting day for our community. The community also saw great participation for the JCC Maccabi games. Federation and Foundation were pleased to support this event through grant funding, staff volunteers and the use of our Board room for the year. Our Education Task Force has been meeting over the course of the year looking at ways to promote excellence and participation in our three day schools. The Leader in Me program, sponsored in partnership with the Resource Center for Jewish Education and Diane Troderman, brings a common language and set of skills to our schools and community. Based on Steven Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this program gives our student, teachers, administrators, parents and volunteers the tools to excel. It is a very exiting initiative for our Jewish schools as we are only the second community to adopt this program nationally. While it has been a tough fund raising climate, our leadership has been hard at work raising the dollars necessary to support our local and global Jewish community. There are positive signs on the horizon with more than 300 new donors this year and plans to continue increasing our campaign efforts. Events that bring the community together, like our well attended parlor meetings, help to showcase the important and relevant work of Federation in Western Massachusetts, Israel and around the globe. Now more than ever we need to support our Jewish world financially as we find more people struggling to provide for their families every day. As my term ends, I will continue to stay involved with our leadership helping meet the needs of our community, inspiring others to become involved and continuing to build strong relationships valley- wide. It has been a privilege to work with so many talented volunteers who work in partnership with a very devoted and dedicated Federation and Foundation staff. It is with great confidence that I am turning the reins of leadership for our Federation over to Steve Dane, whose passion for, and experience in our Jewish community, along with your continued support, will assure a very optimistic future for our region, and world Jewry.
