2011 Annual Report

– Elie Wiesel

Compassion is...

...Building a Stronger Community Together

We are pleased to present our 2010-2011 Annual Report to our community prior to beginning our 50th anniversary year. As we move towards this major milestone, we reaffirm our mission to strengthen Jewish identity, energize the relationship with Israel, and meet human needs that are uniquely the obligation of the Jewish community. We work every day to create a caring, open and vibrant Jewish community...a community that is respectful of the diversity of our members...a community that is proud of our religious and cultural heritage...a community that lives and breathes Jewish values, and is connected to Israel and the Jewish people. As Jews, we are called upon to be a light unto the nations, and we’re proud to be able to say that over the past year we have done that in many ways, great and small. We attempt to ground all of our actions on four core values which form the bedrock of who we are as a people: gemilut Hasadim – caring for and supporting Jewish people, everywhere; tzedek – social justice; tikkun olam – the repair of the world for all humankind; and limud torah – Jewish learning. These values, so inherent in our past, important to our present and vital to our future, will continue to inform the heart and soul of our community and its members, embodying the strength of the Jewish people as we journey together into the future. Last year we accomplished achievements that demonstrate our values in action. We funded local partner agencies, and their programs and services that fed the hungry, assisted our frail elderly, helped the unemployed, connected people to Jewish life

and supported families with special needs. We funded Jewish education, local social service programs, dynamic teen programs, and Israel and overseas initiatives, and responded to human crises. We comforted...we inspired...we rescued.

But we need to do

better.

As Federation is poised to begin its next 50 years, we must reach out even further to extend our network of caring to more of those in need, engage the next generation in Jewish life, better facilitate bringing together our people and give a voice to every member of our extended Jewish family, so that no one is ever turned away. With your help we can capitalize on the progress seen in 2010–2011, and move our community-building vision into the strong, vibrant future we all want for our children and grandchildren. Join us as we celebrate our 50th anniversary year in 2012. Help us work to fulfill our mission. Help us build a strong foundation for the future. Help us continue to be a light unto the nations.

Together

we can fulfill our vision.

We reach

out

and engage the Jewish community – at home and around the world. Last year: ■ The Jewish Teen Initiative (JTI) offered a variety of community-wide social events and service learning projects for local middle and high schools students. - College Caravan, a 48-hour tour, gave high school students an overview of Florida universities from a Jewish perspective. - Jewish Student Union clubs, official, student-run public school clubs, each with a faculty advisor and slate of elected officers, helped local Jewish teens find each other and themselves. - Our four-week Gesher Hai (Hebrew for living bridge) program provided local teens with a chance to touch – and be touched by – the land and people of Israel. - The week-long Young Ambassadors Program connected teens, grades 9-12, from the greater Palm Beaches and our partnered communities in Israel’s Tzahar Region, creating new friendships and lifelong memories. -

Teens participated in the Bonim Fellows Youth Leadership Mission to Israel, a 10-day trip providing volunteer and leadership opportunities to local teens, selected in a competetive process, in our partnered communities in the Tzahar Region, returning inspired and engaged.

- “Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing!” used Judaism to enrich the lives of 56 girls, drawing on Jewish tradition to give them a place to feel safe, articulate their questions and concerns, have fun and be “real” with their peers. ■ The Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) of the Planned Giving & Endowments department’s inaugural mission to Israel showcased the good works of Federation funding, and connected local business people to Israel – and each other. Professionals experienced Ramla, Tel Aviv, our Partnership 2Gether region and Jerusalem on this week-long Israel experience. ■ The Ewa & Dan Abraham Project broadened the scope of Jewish education and outreach in the greater Palm Beaches with innovative programs and classes on Israel, Jewish history, family life, holidays, current events, culture and spirituality for all ages and interest levels. ■

The Volunteer Shlicha (emissary), in our community from her native Israel as an ambassador to bridge the Jewish communities of the greater Palm Beaches and Israel, shared her love and knowledge of Israeli culture, accomplishments, history and geography with all age groups, resulting in stronger Jewish identity and a more vibrant connection with Israel and Israelis.

■ The Emerging leadership Project (ELP), an innovative program designed to inspire and develop the next generation, graduated its first class of future leaders of our community.

We make an indelible imprint on the face of the Jewish community, and create meaningful community agendas, activities and opportunities for advocacy. In 2010-2011: ■ The Business & Professions Division (B&P) engaged members of the business community, provided opportunities for professionals to make valuable connections and build relationships, and raised funds for Federation. - A series of Friday Networking breakfasts, each hosted by a specific B&P division – attorneys/legal, financial services, healthcare or business/industry – were held, with canned food items brought by participants donated to the Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family & Children’s Service kosher food pantry. ■ Our Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) served as lobbying firm, bridge builder and social activist on several issues, including: - -

Working for the passage of the state’s Scrutinized Companies law, which prohibits companies from getting contracts in Florida if they had more than $1 million worth of business with Iran; Hosting a special Seder with the African-American community to raise awareness of hunger and poverty in the U.S.

We work to build community every day, bringing dignity, hope and comfort to people’s lives. During the past year: ■ More than 49,000 Meals-on-Wheels were provided. ■ The Jewish Women’s Foundation of the Greater Palm Beaches (JWF) funded Issue-Awareness and Signature Grants to improve the status of Jewish women and girls here at home and overseas. Funding recipients included those whose programs will help build skills in problem-solving and leadership, empower and spread respect, open and foster conversations on healthy relationships, and create change and promote fair practices for Israeli women. They also responded to the need for a single resource for seniors by funding “Living Well: The Essential Guide to Senior Services in Palm Beach County,” a publication that contains 33 service category listings to help the country’s 300,000 seniors – and those who care for them – find the help they need from providers. ■ 440 volunteers enhanced the reading skills of 3,700 elementary school students in more than 40 area schools through the Anne & Sam Klein Jewish Coalition for Literacy.

6 THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

■ Client subsidies were provided through partner agencies so frail elderly with limited means were able to access a wide variety of aging-in-place services, including home health care, case management, adult day care, bath visits, medication management and counseling. ■ The Chaplaincy program fulfilled the spiritual needs of our community by visiting hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, prisons and facilities for the disabled.

We care for people in need, and

fund Israel and overseas initiatives. Last year: ■ In our partnered community of St. Petersburg, Russia, Adain Lo kindergartens offered top-quality education with a Jewish curriculum; its summer camps provided the opportunity for city-based children – primarily from lower socio-economic backgrounds – to spend two to six weeks in the countryside, developing Jewish identity. ■

A total of 675 children in the Tzahar Region, 6-18 years old, participated and experienced the benefits of Youth Futures, developing motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence, improving scholastic achievements and strengthening their abilities to finish school and take matriculation exams.

■

The International Center for Tzfat Kabbalah developed activities around the study of Jewish mysticism in a very broad and international context, promoting the recognition of Tzfat as its world capital. Its educational programs attracted 30,000 visitors, including delegations from Palm Beach County. Additionally, a dozen programs for hundreds of participants throughout Palm Beach County, with different audiences at various venues – business professionals at a downtown office building, retirees at synagogues and the JCC, and college students on campus – were presented by the center’s director during his visit to the greater Palm Beaches.

■ Comprehensive early childhood services were provided to more than 350 Ethiopian-Israeli children, birth to six years old, participated in the Parents and Children Together (PACT) program, providing educational and social services; another 415 from second to sixth graders were involved in PACT Plus, which reinforces literacy and math skills. Federation also supported after-school programming and outreach centers for middle- and high school-age Ethiopian-Israeli teens in partnership with the Ethiopian National Project. ■ Jewish children with special needs in St. Petersburg, Russia received medical assistance, reduced-cost medications and loans of medical equipment.

We nurture and sustain our Jewish community, providing gateways to the Jewish future.

In 2010-2011: ■ The Synagogue Institute helped strengthen synagogues as gateway institutions of Jewish life in our community, working with a number of local intergenerational synagogues, their clergy, and professional and lay leaders to present new and innovative ways of building a sense of belonging and purpose. ■ Federation supported Hillel: Foundation for Jewish Campus Life in Florida, strengthening Jewish identity for more than 38,000 Jewish college students in our state. ■ Our commitment to strengthen synagogues as critical aspects of life in Palm Beach County was expanded through a new grant program – Shabbat2 – that asked applicants to submit proposals focusing on enhancing programs for people marginally affiliated and unaffiliated. Five grants were awarded – to Temple Beth Am, Temple Beth David, Temple Israel, Temple Shaarei Shalom, and Temple Torah of West Boynton Beach – in recognition of their ability to deepen the level of engagement between synagogues and Federation, including: - “The Grand Shabbat,” a community-wide event integrating an intergenerational synagogue service followed by multiple simultaneous dinners for groups of 6-20 people at 30 host homes. - “Shabbat With a Twist,” which combined prayer, music, inspiration, culture and fun via a traditional Kabbalat Shabbat with full band, and a post-service ice cream oneg.

We plan for the ongoing and future

needs of the Jewish community.

During the past year: ■ Our Women’s Philanthropy division introduced the Women’s Legacy Society; a shining light for others to follow. Creating a lasting legacy – with a bequest/trust, life insurance, IRA/other retirement plan asset or life income plan – ensures that the Jewish charitable issues women care about will have enduring support in their lifetime and after. ■ The outcome of Federation’s Strategic Initiatives process resulted in a plan that identified priorities for moving our Jewish community forward to maintain a vibrant Jewish future, including outreach and engagement of the next generation, strengthening synagogues, Israel and overseas engagement, social services, marketing and leadership engagement.

8 THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

We are passionate about ensuring that

the Jewish traditions we have enjoyed for centuries are preserved for future generations. Last year: ■ Children in the Tzahar Region, Federation’s partnered communities in Israel, made Rosh Hashana cards and clay stars of David that brightened the holidays of seniors who received holiday meals as part of MorseLife’s Homebound Mitzvah program. ■ More than 100 children received incentives or scholarships to attend a Jewish overnight camp. ■ The PJ Library® for the Greater Palm Beaches, a program implemented by the Lorraine & Jack N. Friedman Commission for Jewish Education, was selected as one of seven U.S. communities to pilot “PJ Goes to School,” a project that distributes Jewish-content books and resources, and trains teachers of 3- and 4-year-old classrooms in early Jewish childhood learning centers throughout the community. Additionally, PJ Library® children and alumni living between Boynton Beach and Martin County were offered a $500 voucher for tuition to the Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy, our Jewish community day school. ■ More than 43% of the students at our local Jewish day school receive tuition assistance, making a Jewish education accessible and affordable. ■ 40 dedicated and trained volunteers visited Jewish residents and conducted Shabbat services in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. ■ The JCC’s Camp Shalom in Boynton Beach and Palm Beach Gardens was attended by more than 625 children ages 5 to 13.

Our work is essential for the future of the Jewish community. Jewish identity and advancing Jewish peoplehood, core issues in the worldwide Jewish community, are very important to us. We take our mission very seriously and everything we did as an organization reflected our purpose.

Federation has made so much possible… …but there is still much we need to do to ensure our Jewish future. Looking ahead, we need to ask ourselves, “Why Federation?” For us, the answer is clear: Because we are still the only institution in Jewish life dedicated to the totality of Jewish needs. We are at the heart of the expression of Jewish Peoplehood and mutual responsibility. There are still many Jewish visions yet to be realized...and together we can realize them. Together, we can build a bold new vision of the future…pulling, growing and dreaming. Together...we can fulfill our mission.

Together, anything is possible.

Hal Danenberg 2011 Annual Campaign Chair The theme of Campaign 2011 was “A New Beginning,” with a goal to move forward with renewed spirit and energy…to work together, focus on the most important issues, collaborate with our partner agencies, and promote and reinforce our collective responsibility to care for one another. We welcomed new donors, solicitors and participants. In our shared effort to repair the world, we listened, we learned and we tried new things. The work we did together transformed lives – here at home, in Israel and across the world. We knew the journey wouldn’t be easy, but the trip felt less difficult because we weren’t alone. Together, we persevered, kept moving forward and achieved an unrestricted Annual Campaign of $18.5 million. Additionally, we raised $4.6 million in designated funds for our local and overseas partners, bringing us a total financial resource achievement of more than $23.1 million. As Benjamin Disraeli said, “the secret to success is constancy to purpose” – and we were right on target, despite a continued difficult economic climate. Women’s Philanthropy (WP), under the leadership of President Linda Cortell Benjamin, and Campaign Chair Amy Jonas, reached $8.6 million. The division utilized new initiatives, such as inviting northern Lions to the Pride of our Lions event, and a renewed commitment to engage women at a minimum $365 community campaign level. It is important to note that WP accounts for 48% of the total Annual Campaign from more than 3,100 gifts, including 438 increased gifts, 20 field-ofinterest endowments created through the Women’s

Legacy Society ($10,000+) and 34 designated gifts. To date, there are 119 Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) gifts. Our Business & Professions Division (B&P), under the direction of Chair Jim Baldinger and Vice Chair & Campaign Chair David Lickstein, saw considerable growth, focusing its activities on engaging new donors at all levels, increasing sponsorship revenue, and adding a service component to all division events. The B&P campaign reached more than $1 million from more than 500 donors – a significant contribution to our campaign results – with more than one-third of the total from increased, new and recaptured gifts. Our gated communities and country club campaigns continued to be at the forefront of our efforts, conducting face-to-face solicitations, events and programs to educate and foster community involvement. My deep appreciation and thanks to the members of the Campaign Management Team serving with me, who inspired me with their commitment, dedication and extraordinary support. I could not have done it without them. My gratitude extends to our dedicated Federation staff, our partners in everything that we do, as well as to the countless volunteers who worked tirelessly on behalf of our community. But my greatest thanks goes to you, our generous, esteemed donors, who stood beside us every step of the way. Everything we do, we are able to do because you care.

PG&E Report Sanford M. Baklor Planned Giving & Endowments Chair Sometimes words speak louder than numbers. Although our total endowment and special fund asset base, including expectancies, increased from 2009-2010 ($117.8 million to $128.9 million), it doesn’t tell the whole story. The Jewish community of the greater Palm Beaches faces a daunting challenge over the next three to five years. Many of our – and those of our partner agencies’ – most loyal supporters are over the age of 80, very few of whom have put charitable plans in place that include Federation, its partner agencies or area synagogues. That is why we’re all joining hands in a collaborative effort to develop permanent philanthropic resources that will help secure the Over the past year, the Federation, through its various endowments, donor advised funds and supporting foundations, distributed more than $6.5 million. Of that amount, 72% of all charitable distributions went to Federation, its partner agencies or other programs and projects in Israel. The remainder was distributed to other charitble organizations that qualify for grants under the Federation’s guidelines.

future. If you are one of the few who has put Federation and/or one of its partner agencies into your estate plans, please let us know so you can be properly recognized during your lifetime. If you have not yet made these arrangements, let the professionals in the Planned Giving & Endowments department work with you and your professional advisors to help you create your personal Jewish legacy. PG&E helps donors maximize their tax and philanthropic benefits while developing permanent endowment resources to ensure the continuity of important programs and services for Jews everywhere.
