A Season of Thanks. A Day to Give Back.


GIVING TUESDAY



With Gratitude for You — and for the Community We Build Together.

Dear Friend,


Gratitude is a central value in Judaism — expressed through Hakarat Hatov, recognizing the good and acknowledging the blessings in our lives with thanks and appreciation.


This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to turn gratitude into action. Your generosity to the Jewish Federation of Greater Fairfield County strengthens the Jewish future — here at home, in Israel, and around the world.

Because of you, we are able to:


  • Care for the vulnerable through beneficiary organizations like Schoke Jewish Family Service of Fairfield County, Project Kesher in Ukraine, and an array of organizations on the ground in Israel supporting families in need.


  • Inspire Jewish learning and connection through Merkaz Community High School for Judaic Studies, PJ Library, and our Federation Israeli Emissary Program, engaging children, teens, and families in meaningful Jewish experiences.


  • Ensure community security in partnership with the Secure Community Network and local agencies, keeping our synagogues, schools, and institutions safe.



  • Stand with Israel and global Jewry, offering strength, hope, and humanitarian aid wherever it’s needed most.

Your gift today makes an immediate and lasting impact — helping us support, connect, and ensure a strong Jewish future for generations to come.


This Giving Tuesday, join us in building a more vibrant, compassionate, and secure Jewish community.


Every gift, every act of giving, strengthens the bonds that unite us all.


Give today. Make a difference that lasts all year.


With heartfelt appreciation, 
The Jewish Federation of Greater Fairfield County


P.S. Please consider making your 2025 Annual Campaign gift before December 31 so that we can put your generosity to work right away — strengthening Jewish life locally, in Israel, and around the world.
