By Bob Silverman, Campaign Chair

This January message can only begin with 2 very big words; THANK YOU!

Thank you to the 800+ donors who made early commitments to the 2017 campaign and made pledges of over $450,000. Your early commitments have set us on a pace to continue to make an important difference in the vitality and security of Jewish life. Your generosity makes it possible to:

• Help Jews in Rockland, Israel and 60+ countries
• Advocate and educate on behalf of Israel, including fighting anti-Semitism and BDS
• Bring together the local Jewish community to take collective action whenever necessary and to build bridges of cooperation and collaboration between Jewish organizations. 

With the support of over 800 Jewish families across the county, including over 200 new donors, Federation will continue the 2017 Campaign and insure that the funds are there to advance and grow Federation’s mission. As campaign chair, please accept my most sincere thanks.

Bob
