THE GUIDE
Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey
to Everything Jewish in the
Greater Philadelphia Area
A Tribute to Linda Roth
Linda Roth joined the Jewish Federation as a volunteer in the 1980’s and then
as staff member in 1996. She became the Director of our Jewish Information
and Referral Service in 2007, and retired this past winter. As the face of our
referral service, Linda answered inquiries and provided referrals for all kinds
of services in our Jewish community, from high holiday tickets to in-home care
for an aging parent, to how to find a tour guide in Israel. She was unfailingly
patient and kind, and if she did not know an answer for a caller, she would
research it and get back to them as quickly as she could.
In addition to her regular work, Linda was the force behind this Guide for
over two decades. Every spring and summer, Linda would begin checking the
data in the guide and updating it for the coming year. It was a tedious task
that took her many weeks to complete, but she was committed to making the
guide as up-to-the-minute as possible.
This spring/summer, even though she had officially retired, Linda once
again reviewed all of the data in this Guide and submitted it to the Jewish
Exponent. Linda, we salute you for your service on this, your final Guide, and
all of the preceding Guides. Thank you. You are dearly missed, but we know
you are enjoying retirement.

SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
The rang e of services offered by the Jewish community for its members and
for the general public is varied and wide-ranging, with the community priding
itself on offering high-quality services. Though it is not possible to provide
for all needs in all parts of the Greater Philadelphia area, the organized Jewish
community hopes that people will take advantage of available programs and
services to which they are entitled. Almost all Jewish communal agencies
charge fees on a sliding-scale basis or make other provisions for assisting those
with limited financial means. Residents of the five-county region are eligible
to use these services, as are local college students, visitors and members of the
armed services stationed nearby.
