“The united jewish fund for charlottesville (ujfc) aims to strengthen the jewish community --socially, economically, educationally and culturally - both locally and globally. This objective guides our board as we select programs to fund. The jewish tradition teaches that the two highest levels of charitable giving involve helping people in a way that prevents them from becoming dependent on others and giving in such a way that the giver and recipient are unknown to each other. Giving when the recipient knows the donor is also permitted. The ujfc gives in ways both known and unknown to the recipients. Grants of 112,500 were made as follows: 1)21,000- jewish federations of north america the jewish federations of north america (jfna) consolidates gifts from around the country to support jewish causes in the united states and abroad. The gift was unrestricted, like previous years, allowing the organization to apply our funds where they were most needed. Among many of their priorities, the jfna helps jews who have immigrated to israel and need support as they adjust to life in a new country, and helps families in israel climb out of poverty, many of whom are single mothers. Ujfc's funds support jfna operations around the world. 2)14,500 - congregation beth israel - senior connections this program is run by congregation beth israel (cbi) to keep senior citizens engaged with the jewish community in charlottesville. Latifa kropf, the program's director and sole employee runs multiple activities under this rubric, including torah study, holiday gatherings and social events. During the pandemic, latifa reached out to seniors by phone only, but this year's programs included holiday, social and educational programming at the colonnades and other senior communities, 3 wise aging groups that meet monthly and coordination of hillel students with the colonnades jewish residents. Latifa provided extensive support and jewish connection to a woman under hospice care with no family nearby, sharing prayer and song, up until the time of her passing. She shares judaism and love of art with a gentleman whose cognitive abilities have been declining. Ujfc provides 100% of the funding for the program director position. 3)20,000 - congregation beth israel - forest school congregation beth israel's forest school serves jewish children living in central virginia. Ujfc funds are primarily used to close the tuition gap for those who cannot afford, allowing these families to provide the highest quality jewish education to their children without having cost as a barrier 4)6,000 - congregation beth israel - intergenerational artist-in-residence program. This will be the third program designed to bring together people of all generations in our jewish community. Musician and composer noah aaronson has written original compositions which are used in our liturgy. He will be at four events: a friday night service, a saturday afternoon movement workshop, a saturday evening interactive concert and service, and a sunday program for our sunday school and forest school. We find these programs to be excellent community-builders, bringing in new people. 5)4,500 - congregation beth israel - camp scholarships congregation beth israel runs a summer camp so children can have positive jewish experiences while spending time outdoors. The camp is operated out of camp holiday trails and offers activities like archery, ropes course, swimming, hiking, and boating.
