Every Gift Counts. Support the Annual Fund Today!
Dear Friends,

It won’t be long before we gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving. At the center of the table, metaphorically speaking, are the stories we share with each other. Each person has a story to tell, and oftentimes stories reveal more than we think; about ourselves, our past, and about our communities. During this year, I will highlight different stories of people in our community and their reasons for being part of our JCDS community. 

What is your story? While our reasons for giving may differ, I am asking you to make an investment in JCDS. This is a place where our students proudly speak Hebrew, sing songs, engage in the engineering process, and more. It is a place where we nurture Jewish leaders who unabashedly stand up for what is right. But we are more than a school for our children. JCDS is a place where our connection to this community oftentimes outlasts the time our children have spent here. Just ask the men who have continued the JCDS Men’s Torah Study for almost 20 years, and who joyfully returned to our beloved building in October. 
This year, I hope you will join me on a journey of giving. In this season of giving thanks, consider your story and give generously. Your gift to the Annual Fund will:

  • Support our teachers, staff, and facilities
  • Make JCDS financially accessible to families 
  • Ensure our program continues to be innovative, rigorous, and joyful

With your partnership, we will continue to be the flame that lights and nurtures the fire within our students, and, ultimately, in our own lives.

L’shalom,
Director of Development & Communications
