Exceeding our budget al lowed us to invest almost $6.1 million in critical community programs, many of which are run by our partner agencies. • Federation raised $270,000 from national Foundations, enabling an increase in Jewish programming in Columbus without further taxing our local donors. These accomplishments could not have occurred without the dedication of my predecessor, Arnie Good. Arnie served with enthusiasm and dedication for the past three years. I know I join the community in thanking him for both his leadership and commitment.

OVERNIGHT CAMP The beauty of Jewish summer camps is that they make Jewish life entertaining. For many children, Jewish summer camp is a focused time when being Jewish brings them a sense of purpose and joy. When groups of kids and counselors harmonize to Jewish songs, it creates a magical experience that has nothing to do with studying in Hebrew school or attending High Holiday services. The activities, crafts and even the course of the day have Jewish themes -- bringing their heritage to them in a f resh, non-threatening way so they learn about Ju daism while fostering life-long friendships. Jewish camp is magical and fun and so much more. Jewish overnight camp provides a summer with a soul. That is why Federation provided $60,000 in financial support for 80 local children this past summer.

PJ LIBRARY & PJ OUR WAY Reading stories and listening to music with your child are among the most powerful and nurturing early childhood learning experiences. The Federation engages families with young children through our PJ Library and PJ Our Way programs. PJ Library sends a new, free book or CD to more than 1,000 children, 6 months to 8 years old, in our community every month. PJ Our Way Way serves 200 kids ages 9-11 who choose their own books through a tailored online experience based on their own interests and reading level. The books and music transform intimate moments of parents reading to a child, into J ewish moments. When the c hild is independent enough to choose and read their own books, PJ Our Way takes kids on a Jewish journey through the joy of reading. Funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, Abigail & Leslie Wexner, and the Jewish Federation of Columbus, PJ library is a gift that will nourish a Jewish life and grow with the child.
PJ Library Community Connectors PJ Library Community Connectors build authentic relationships, create new, barrier-free Jewish experiences, expand communities, and impart relevant Jewish content to families with Jewish children ages newborn to 5 years-old through intimate outreach and engagement programs.

ISRAEL ENGAGEMENT There is no place in t he world more meaningful for the Jewish people than Israel. While this ancient land has always been home to Jews, since 1948 the modern State of Israel has completely transformed what it means to be a Jew. Because of the State of Israel, Jews have a national identity, wherever they live. Travel Travel to Israel is one of the most effective ways to connect us to our heritage and strengthen our connections to Jewish community. Through Federation’s Federation’s investments in the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Joint Distribution Committee, we answer social, cultural, economic, welfare welfare and educational needs all over Israel. The Diamond Family Spotlight Lecture Series, young adult Israel advocacy programs and annual Yom Ha’atzmaut Israel Fest celebration bring the pride of Israel Engagement to the Columbus Jewish community.

Israel Talks In the past when organizations, companies companies and schools needed to book a speaker to talk about Israel they turn ed to a web of acquaintances or they would cold call the university. university. Even then, the speaker was possibly not well versed in the specific subject of interest. That is why the Federation created Israel Talks last year. This speaker’s bureau was created to help provide speakers on a variety of subjects, such as: the LGBT Community in Israel, the Israeli tech scene, the Israeli legal system and Israeli fashion, to name a few. Since most people are familiar with Israel only from the media, Israel Talks Talks gives audiences the opportunity to hear about Israel first-hand from Israelis, and experts in their fields.

Zikaron BaSalon New this year was Zikaron BaSalon, an intimate commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance day. Zikaron BaSalon, which literally means “memories in the living room,” permits participants to listen to Holocaust Survivors and their children in the intimate setting of a living room living room with fewer than 25 other people. The idea was born in Israel from th e belief that the connection between today’s society and the memories of the Holocaust, has significantly deteriorated due to change of culture, the passage of time and the dwindling number of the Holocaust Survivors. Zikaron BaSalon events were a phenomenal success with 150 participants in seven homes around the Columbus area.

Interfaith Working with leaders and members of diverse faiths, the JCRC works to promote greater understanding and respect among them, and to reduce prejudice among faith groups in the Columbus area. One highlight this year was the Habitat for Humanity project where Jews and Muslims came together to build a home.
Advocacy Israel continues to be challenged on a regular basis by terrorism and non-conventional threats to its security. At the same time, Israel is taking courageous steps in its ongoing efforts toward peace. Explaining Israel’s actions and the environment in which it operates is often challenging in American public discourse. That is why our JCRC partners with Hillel, Chabad, ADL, and Ohio Jewish Communities to educate our constituents and the public about the importance of a safe and secure Israel – to the Jewish people, to America and to the world.

The grant will match dollar for dollar up to $1.5 million dollars. To To date we have raised almost $900,000 which has been matched.

RUJEW For young Jews in Columbus who grew up in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and whose parents grew up in the FSU, being Jewish has long meant “separation”. There was separation from Jewish history, history, Jewish culture, J ewish family, family, and t heir Jewish selves. Any expression of their Jewish identity in the FSU could only be made in hushed tones. Though the Russian Jews no longer live secret Jewish lives, many second generation Russian Jews feel distant from the larger Jewish community. The Federation’s RuJew program brings first and second-generation Russian-speaking Jews together through community engagement opportunities, philanthropic ventures, and social networking. Federation offers a variety of programs from monthly happy hours and inclusive Ru ssian Shabbat events to Russian-speaking service opportunities and networking.

Jewish Federation of Columbus ANNUAL REPORT 2017
PACE The Jewish Federation of Columbus is a touchstone of Jewish life in Columbus: for thousands of Columbus Jews, giving to the Federation’s annual campaign is a tradition critical to maintaining Jewish continuity. Many have ensured that their tradition of Federation giving extends from generation to generation by establishing a Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment. When a PACE Fund is established, the Columbus Jewish Foundation or other community foundations invest the gift to maximize its value. The annual income from these funds generates an annual gift to the Federation; the principal remains intact in perpetuity.
