This is a defining moment for the Jewish people

“We face a convergence of challenges that demand decisive action and a unified response.”

Across North America and here in Savannah, Jewish Federations are uniquely positioned to meet this pivotal moment. As One, we mobilize our resources, our relationships, and our community’s generosity to confront today’s most urgent needs: rising antisemitism, Israel’s recovery, and the vitality of Jewish life at home.

Your gift to the Savannah Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign is strategically deployed to make a difference across the spectrum of Jewish life — locally, nationally, and globally.

Together, we build a stronger, safer, more connected Jewish future.

As One, We Inspire Jewish Connection

“Today’s challenges have awakened a powerful desire for Jewish connection and belonging.”

Jewish life in Savannah thrives when people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. This year, your gift strengthens:

• Jewish identity and belonging for people of all backgrounds
• Meaningful experiences that spark lifelong passion for Jewish learning and culture
• Community programs that bring people together across generations
• Immersive opportunities that connect diverse families to Jewish tradition

Savannah’s Jewish community is small but mighty — and your support ensures that every person who seeks connection can find it here.

As One, We Stand United Against Hate

“Our communities are under threat from rising antisemitism… but we will not be defined by fear and hatred.”

Antisemitism is rising across the country, and Savannah is not immune. Your gift helps us:

• Secure our synagogues, schools, and community centers
• Provide training and tools that keep our community safe
• Advocate for Jewish needs at the local, state, and national levels
• Support students and families facing harassment or intimidation

Jewish Federations have invested over $130 million nationally in community security initiatives. Savannah benefits directly from this network — and your support keeps our community protected.

As One, We Rebuild Israel

“The October 7th attacks and subsequent war have left deep scars… yet Israel’s strength and resilience continues to shine through.”

Savannah’s generosity reaches across continents. Through our historic partners — The Jewish Agency for Israel, JDC, and hundreds of NGOs — your gift supports:

• Mental health services for trauma survivors and combat veterans
• Small business stabilization for families rebuilding their livelihoods
• Educational programs for students displaced by war
• Community revitalization that strengthens Israeli society
• Aliyah and global Jewish connection, including support for 32,000+ new immigrants last year

Your gift helps Israelis heal, rebuild, and reclaim their futures.

Why Your Gift Matters

Your support fuels work that touches every part of Jewish life:

• 300,000+ students supported in Jewish day schools
• 181,000+ campers experiencing transformative Jewish summers
• 300+ communities expanding early childhood programs
• 600,000+ people connected through Shlichim (Israeli emissaries)
• 91% of Jews report feeling safer with professional security presence

Savannah is part of this national network — and your gift ensures our community continues to flourish.
