Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Prescott
Who Are We?
We are a not for profit public charity created solely for educational, charitable, and religious purposes governed by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees
Why We Give
For over 5,000 years, Jewish teaching have emphasized the importance of Tzedakah (Hebrew for charity). Unlike voluntary giving, Tzedakah is considered an ethical and moral obligation to give regardless of one’s financial resources
To Whom We Give
The simple answer: You, the community. We provide funding to agencies and organizations that meet the basic needs of the less fortunate, as well as projects and initiatives that benefit the community, the state and in some cases our nation
LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS
Passover is the time when we as Jews remember and celebrate the freedom from Egyptian slavery and our resilient plight to freedom. Thousands of years later, we remain determined to fight for our freedom. As we observe and practice the rituals of a Seder, let us remember the natural wonders which led to the freedom of our ancestors. Let us remember the curiosity of the youngest member and wish that they continue this curiosity which leads to their strong Jewish identity. May we learn our rich history, both good and bad and speak loudly that it will never be forgotten and never repeated. May we be rich in company that we are able to open our doors and share with many. May we all cherish in celebrating our past for our existence tomorrow.
