Rochie and Jordan Berkowitz see the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Super Sunday event as an opportunity to strengthen the Greater Cleveland Jewish community as a whole.

September 25, 2016 – this is not your typical Sunday. No, September 25 is Super Sunday! This year, the Campaign for Jewish Needs takes on a special meaning for Jordan and Rochie Berkowitz. They’re co-chairing the event for the second year in a row – and now, as a family of 7.

Be a volunteer at Super Sunday, Jewish Cleveland’s single largest one-day giveathon of the year! The Jewish Federation of Cleveland seeks volunteers to make calls that raise funds for the 2017 Campaign for Jewish Needs. The event takes place on Sunday, September 25 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Building (25701 Science Park Drive, Beachwood).

What Inspires David Adler, Campaign Chair?“You and your generosity. Whether it is feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick, helping Jewish identities form, or educating our youth…We are here to take care of one another.”

What Inspires Emily?“Being part of something bigger than myself…Wherever I go in this world, as long as I’m part of a Jewish community, I know I’ll be home.”

Every new gift or increase of $1,000 or more will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000 during this year's campaign.

There was a time when Noah Farrell's future didn't look very bright.
