Creating a
Stronger Community
Although each reason for giving to the Jewish
Federation of Greater Philadelphia is unique, there is a
common thread – that of building a strong community.

Celebrating my own Jewish identity and connecting to
the Jewish community locally and abroad has always
been important to me. By giving to the Jewish Federation,
I can help support others within the community to have
access to the same resources that I have.

– Brandi Lerner
I give because the Jewish Federation is there for the
community – from our youngest children at the JCC
to kids at camp and day schools, to our seniors and
people in need. I have two sons with disabilities, and
the Jewish Federation has given a lot of support to
my children. I see the impact within my own home,
in Greater Philadelphia, and around the world.

– Lauren Danneman
Growing up I saw the enjoyment my parents had
being involved in the Jewish Federation. They made
lifelong friends while helping strengthen our Jewish
community. I wanted to have this same experience.

– Andrew Klazmer
We give to the Jewish Federation, because it is always
ready to support the Jewish community both locally
and abroad. We love how quickly the Jewish Federation
is able to mobilize forces in case of an emergency need.

I support the Jewish Federation, because of my life-
changing experience on Honeymoon Israel. On the trip,
I was able to connect with my partner, who is Jewish, on
another level and see firsthand the amazing things that
the Jewish community does for one another. I now want
to give other interfaith couples a similar opportunity.
