"I did not find the world desolate when
I entered it. As my father planted for me so will I plant for my children and my children's children." Talmud
The quality of the Jewish institutions in any community, is directly proportional to the quality of the members of that Jewish community.
The future of any Jewish institutions in a community are directly proportional to the contributions to those institutions by the members of that community.
There are nine participating Jewish institutions which comprise the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation.
The Jacksonville Jewish community is recognized as being a strong and united community which has endured a great many years based upon the support of the members of this community. The emergence of the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation has provided a vehicle for everyone in this community to participate in the endeavor to ensure the future of this community. The strength of the Foundation is a great indication of the strength and dedication of our community. It is my belief that the Foundation is the most significant organization to serve as the umbrella agency for endowment giving to the partner Jewish agencies and Synagogues.
