Introduction


Years of Federation Years Federation Leadership The Federation, founded in 1926, has as its cornerstone the centuries old belief that social justice (Tzedakah) is a community responsibility. In practice, this means that each Jewish person has the duty to help other Jews - one responsible for the other - one family, one community, one people. Today there are more than 300 volunteers and 2,100 contributors involved involved with the Federation, dedicated to strengthening strengthe ning our community and establishing a secure and vital future for Jewish life worldwide. We are mindful of our past and thank the leadership listed on page 48, whose tireless efforts created a strong foundation rooted in our core Jewish values.

Overnight Camp Ask any child what the best time of year is, and they will say summertime. For many, summer means spending time outdoors at Jewish overnight camp. For these kids, Jewish camp is just plain fun, but it’s really much more than that — it’s camp with a soul. While they are racing down the zipline, singing under the stars, and making lifelong friends they also learn values like self-confidence, independence, and leadership that stay with them long after the last campfire of the summer. At Jewish camp, campers explore their connection to Judaism in a fun and meaningful way while having the time of their lives. Federation provides financial support for 150 local children so they can experience the magic of Jewish overnight camp.

It has been an amazing experience for the “ kids. I wish I could go with them. They have really come into their own Judaically and sociall y and gai ned their i ndependence. LISA FREEDMAN

PJ Library Reading stories and listening to music with your child are among the most powerful and nurturing early childhood learning experiences. The Federation Federation engages families with young children between the ages of six months and eight years old through our PJ Library program. Every month a new book or CD is sent to more than 1,000 children in our community free for them to enjoy. The books and music transform the intimate moment of reading to a child into Jewish moments. Research indicates that Jewish experiences in a child’s earliest years establish the basis of a strong Jewish sense of self. Funded by Abigail & Leslie Wexner, Wexner, the Jewish Federation of Columbus and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, PJ library is a gift that will nourish a Jewish life and grow with the child.

Every month, after “ our daughters run up the driveway tearing open their very own PJ Library package, together we enjoy the experience of reading their new books — their new Jewish Jewish books. books. JOSH AND AIMEE SANDERS

Israel Engagement There is no place in the world more meaningful for the Jewish people than Israel. While this ancient land has a lways been home to Jews, the modern State of Israel, since 1948, has completely transformed what it means to be a Jew. Because of the State of Israel, Jews have a national identity, wherever wherever they live. Travel Trav el to Israel i s one of the most effective ways to connect us to our heritage and strengthen our connections to Jewish community. Through Federation’s investments in the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Joint Distribution Committee, we answer social, cultural, economic, welfare and educational needs all over Israel. The Spotlight Lecture Series, young adult Israel advocacy programs and annual Yom Haatzmaut Israel Fest celebration bring the pride of Israel Engagement to the Columbus Jewish community. And, with our Shlichim, travel grants and Partnership2Gether initiatives, we build l iving bridges with our fellow Jews in Israel.

There are more than 242 survivors of Nazi persecution living here, in the Columbus area. Their average age is 87. Judaism teaches us to care for one another during times of need.

The grant will match dollar for dollar up to $1.5 million dollars. This year we were thrilled to help Jewish Family Services receive an additional $1.1 million from the German Claims Conference and the Jewish Federations of North America to assist our survivors.

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 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.
