Do a Mitzvah This Chanukah

In our tradition, we call Chanukah the miracle of lights. Each night, after we light each candle in our menorahs, we take part in another tradition; we give and get gifts.

This year COVID and the economic downturn has meant not everyone will get gifts.

That’s why it’s a perfect time to take our Chanukah traditions both “on the road” and online and give a gift to someone who isn’t on your list.

#RocklandShinesWithHope

Let us shine these lights as beacons of hope, peace, acceptance, and the promise of a bright future for all of Rockland.

Last Chanukah, Rockland County was devastated by a senseless act of hate and violence in Monsey. This Chanukah, let us come together to show our unity against hate and divisiveness. No one should be afraid to display their menorah or any other holiday decoration or symbol. Show your Jewish neighbors that you stand with them by taking part in this simple yet meaningful act of unity, both in your home and on social media, and show the entire community that we stand opposed to hatred and violence. We are stronger together.

Do You Wish You Could Make Your Money Multiply Itself?

Here’s Your Chance To Make It Happen!
 

If you have never given to Jewish Federation & Foundation of Rockland County, now’s the time. Every new donation that’s made to Federation between now and December 31, 2020, will be matched at 100%. 

With your gift, here’s what you’re accomplishing. You’re helping Federation extend much needed help to organizations who have stepped up to meet the needs of those suffering through the pandemic. That includes support for isolated Holocaust survivors, child care scholarships for essential workers, and food to fill the shelves at Rockland Jewish Family Service’s Rhoda Bloom Kosher Food Pantry.
