See How Far Your Gelt Goes.

While you and your family are at home lighting the menorah, the gelt you give to Federation is also providing light, brightening lives around the world.

Your gelt is bringing winter relief to vulnerable Jews in the former Soviet Union, where the cost to heat a small apartment can far exceed a family’s income. It’s providing trauma counseling to families in Southern Israel, where thousands have yet to fully heal from a war fought too close to home. And it’s providing Jewish education for children everywhere, from Minsk to Mumbai.

Not only does your gelt help the needy in hundreds of towns around the globe, it brightens the lives of many right here at home. With your gelt, Rockland Federation can offer adult Jewish education and leadership development programs that strengthen our local community. With support from people like you, our Rockland Jewish Initiative (RJI) offers synagogue membership grants and training programs for synagogue leaders. With your assistance, we provide grants to dozens of Rockland nonprofits, ensuring that help gets where it’s needed the most.

So this Chanukah, give what gelt you can to Federation. It will brighten your holiday to see how far it goes. Make your Chanukah gift.

Wishing you and your family a joyous and peaceful holiday!
