I have been an active and engaged supporter of the Jewish Federation of Delaware for over 15 years, most recently finishing my fourth year as co-chair of Women's Philanthropy.This passionate group of women give their time, knowledge and financial commitment to improve the lives of so many jews throughout Delaware and the Brandywine Valley as well as Israel and around the world.
It is empowering and inspiring to support such a worthy cause that truly makes such a difference.
I feel blessed and honored to have the opportunity ti be a part of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

I have become more and more involved with the JFD each year. I am continually impressed with the broad impact of the organization. There are programs for new babies, things for children and something for everyone including the ederly. But, not onnly is there incredable breath, but the quality of these programs are also incredibly strong. Recently I attended a WOW event with the most incrdible speaker I have ever heard. All of these programs and services exist because of the dedication of the wonderful staff and many volunteers. When volunteering for these events a stron commmunity is built. I have participated in events like the one described, in Mitzvah day with hundreds of volunteers, and gon on multiple missions to Israel with my Federation. I have also been on the board in various positions. It is an honor to work with this group to people.

Delaware is a special state, and the Jewish community here is special as well, both in no small part due to the Jewish Federation of Delaware. It is a wonderful outlet for volunteerism that really makes a difference in people's lives. My particular interest is in public policy issues of concern to the Jewish community here and around the world. The Federation gave me the opportunity to pursue this interest through its Jewish Community Relations Committee. When I served as president of a local synagogue, relationships between the Federation and synagogue were excellent. Seth Katzen has put an emphasis on cooperation among the various institutions in the community, for the benefit of all. He has also added to the professionalism of Federation, particularly its marketing and communications efforts.

Federation serves as the convener and umbrella organization for our community. I have been impressed with its professional and lay leadership and its ability to adapt to the constantly changing needs of our agencies and recipients. Through innovative programming and engagement opportunities, Federation touches the lives of thousands of people in Delaware as well as around the world. I know that my time and philanthropy is being wisely invested through Federation and support their efforts in improving the world.

I moved back home to Delaware and I was looking for a Jewish Place to call home. The Federation of Delaware was just what I was looking for. It was not just a place for me but for my family as well. The Federation has become a very special place in my heart over the last 4 years. Our Federation is just AMAZING! It offers something for everyone and I love being involved in the Young Leadership Division, Women of Wisdom, PJ Library, Shalom Baby and much more! The Delaware Federation is my home.

The Jewish Federation of Delaware was the first agency that reached out to me when my family and I were newcomers to the area. The warmth and enthusiasm continued to grow, as did my relationship and involvement with the JFD. I embrace it's mission and ongoing support of our community and the community abroad! The great staff and lay leaders work endlessly to reach goals that are collectively set forth. We are very fortunate to have the JFD in our community where it IS making a difference.

I have been a non-profit professional for ten years, and recently switched to a volunteer role with the Jewish Federation. I must say that the Jewish Federation of Delaware is one of the best out there! Yesterday was the Federation's community-wide Israel Independence Day celebration, which began with a PJ Library concert for young children and their families, and nearly 100 people came out on a Sunday morning to be a part of yet another quality program. Pretty impressive, and it's just one of the many ways in which this organization strengthens the Jewish community in Delaware, bringing people together around a common cause throughout the year.

Over the years I have volunteered in various capacities for several of the umbrella agencies under Jewish Federation of DE.
Most recently I have agreed to chair/co-chair events for Jewish Federation of DE itself.
I am very impressed with the degree of organization and professionalism that the staff of JFD maintains.
Every person that I can think of that works there, from the CEO, to the Director of Development, to virtually every one in the office, maintains this standard.
Not only are they smart, creative, hard-working and committed, but they are kind and lovely people.
They are wonderful to work with because they are mensches and they run beautiful and effective programs that effect powerful positive changes in peoples' lives.
I feel very fortunate to be associated with all of these wonderful people at JFD.

When I moved to Delaware a few years ago, the Jewish Federation welcomed me with open arms. Since that day I have been involved in the Jewish community thanks to the programs available through Federation. It has been an incredibly enriching experience and I have never worked with such a wonderful non-profit.

I became involved with JFD as a participant in the Community Leadership Institute in 2006. My family and I have benefited from our association with this amazing organization. I have served as President of JFS and a board member of JFD. My daughter is also a graduate of the Community Leadership Institute, serving on the board of AEA and Hillel. Best of all, my grandchildren, who attended JCC Preschool and Camp JCC, have been impacted by JFD. They are presently students at AEA and are thriving as a result of their experience.
