Today, we celebrate 78 years of Israel's independence!

Today's joy feels even more powerful because it is not taken for granted.
It is hard-earned and fought for every day.

We stand tall, dance freely, and believe fiercely in a bright future.

On this Yom HaZikaron, we honor the soldiers and civilians who gave their lives so Israel could live.

We hold the weight of every person who built and continues to protect the Jewish homeland.

We honor their memory, their bravery, and their courage to fight for our home.

May their names be a blessing.

Last year, our Fund Holders were invited to exclusive site visits for an inside look at the organizations they support.

We have facilitated behind-the-scenes visits to five OC nonprofits, offering direct conversations with executive leadership, meaningful interaction with participants, and curated wish lists that create immediate pathways for impactful giving.

Each visit was grounded in a core Jewish value, connecting philanthropy to purpose, tradition, and responsibility:

🧑🤝🧑 Friendship (Yedidut)
🤝 Community (Kehila)
🙏 Hope (Tikvah)
💪 Dignity (Caved HaBriyot)
💞 Connection (Havruta)

Through these visits, Fund Holders experience philanthropy in action, where generosity meets impact, and together we guarantee a Jewish tomorrow. Reach out to Wendy at [email protected] for more information!

Our Fund Holders visited Moishe House to support and explore how the Jewish value of Havruta (Friendship) connects philanthropy to purpose.

In cities across the world, young adults create meaningful Jewish spaces through Moishe Houses (3-5 residents) and Moishe Pods (2 residents), welcoming tens of thousands of their peers into their homes to celebrate, learn and connect.

You can also support Moishe House through your JCFOC Fund!

We remember the lives lost during the Holocaust.
We carry their stories, their names, and their humanity in our hearts.

In their memory, we recommit ourselves to fighting antisemitism, hatred, and indifference.

"Never again" is a promise we uphold every day.
