Abbie was recognized at our Campaign Closing Celebration for her dedication to the Campaign for Jewish Needs.

The success of our 2022 Campaign for Jewish Needs is due in large part to the strength of those at the helm. We are grateful to Bradley A. Sherman for his leadership as chair of the 2021 and 2022 Campaigns.

The community raised $34,023,524 from 11,379 donors representing 8,398 gifts to help care for one another, prepare for the future, share our perspectives, and repair our world. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and dedicated volunteers, we are – and will continue to be – HERE FOR GOOD! These totals were shared at the virtual Campaign Closing Celebration on December 8.

Greater Cleveland is home to several people who played a role in creating some of Hollywood’s most iconic television shows and movies, among them David Wain, the co-director of six feature films.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Young Leadership Division and Women IN Philanthropy joined together at Gathering For Good to celebrate the community, support the 2022 Campaign for Jewish Needs, and honor Shoshana Dessler Jacobs, this year’s recipient of the Irene Zehman Volunteer Award.

For Shaker Heights resident Nadav Marcus, serving the community is something that's been engrained in him since he was a young child. So when the opportunity to join Serve the Moment here in Cleveland presented itself, he jumped at the chance.

We hope to see you at our upcoming events! Join our Real Estate Affinity Group for an exclusive event on how the public-private-philanthropic partnership has been created to revitalize and redevelop downtown Cleveland.

We hope to see you at our upcoming events! During the month of September, we will enjoy cocktails and conversation in the Sukkah and hear about what it means to be Jewish in sports from Koby Altman, General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
