Federation Opens Fund to Assist Hurricane Irma Victims
Tragically another natural disaster hit the U.S.—impacting the entire state of Florida and now reaching into Georgia. The enormous storm caused widespread damage and flooding, and left more than 10 million people without power. Though most reports indicate that Floridians may have dodged a worst-case-scenario, residents and communities are just now beginning to return to assess the damage. We are still in the process of gathering information about specific needs but we are starting to collect donations to help those we can as soon as possible.
Funds raised will go to the network of local and international partners that serves Jewish community members and all in need quickly, effectively, and with personal care. We fund urgently-needed basics like food and medicine, and long-term needs like trauma counseling.
You can make your donation directly by

. We thank you in advance for your generosity to support the communities impacted by
Hurricane Irma

Stand up to Prejudice & Bigotry…March with us on Oct. 8th!
We know there are those in the community who want to help make a positive difference in our community following the despicable demonstration of hate on full display in Charlottesville, Virginia. While there are times when a one-time vigil or rally may provide a “sense of community” in the aftermath of a tragedy, the JCRC and our Raab/Goodwin Holocaust Education Center believe strongly not only in words but in action. That is why for the past 18 years, we have dedicated a significant portion of our budget to support our Holocaust Education programs that teach about the effects of prejudice, bigotry and hatred and why we must all be “upstanders and not bystanders” each and every day.
Join us as our community comes together at our 5th annual March of Remembrance, our single largest educational fundraiser, to support the work of our Raab/Goodwin Holocaust Education Center which is set for Sunday, October 8th at 9:00am.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE to literally “walk the walk and talk the talk” as hundreds of us participate in this community gathering to stand up against the intolerance and hate. PLEASE register to take part in this special program or at the very least take a moment to make a gift to support our continuing efforts in the years ahead.

Lay leader of Charlottesville shul to speak of experiences at Beth Tikvah
On the morning of Aug. 12, Charlottesville resident Susan Sherman was driving her kids home from swim lessons, figuring there were still a few good hours left before white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other far-right protestors would be gathering at Emancipation Park.
“Even though things had gone really badly the night before, a lot of us thought we could get done our morning activities before the rally was supposed to start,” said Sherman, the sister of Cong. Beth Tikvah in Marlton congregant Ellen Krivchenia. “But as I was driving my kids home through town, all I could say is that surreal doesn’t even begin to describe the scene; it looked like the set of a movie.”
