St. Paul Jewish Federation

📸 FLASHBACK FRIDAY 📸

As summer and the month of Elul come to a close, we’re looking back at snapshots from Federation campaigns of the 1970s! These photos come from our own Federation albums and are simply labeled “Campaign.”

The High Holy Days are a season of reflection and new beginnings—and also the time when St. Paul Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign gets underway.

For more than 90 years, generations of donors have sustained this work, helping strengthen Jewish life and build a safe, diverse Jewish future in St. Paul, the East Metro and around the world. 💙

Recognize anyone? Drop their names in the comments—we’d love to know who you spot!

Shabbat Shalom! 🕯

See the impact of your dollars 💙

In 2024, St. Paul Jewish Federation awarded $36,000 in Jewish summer camp scholarships. This past year, we more than doubled that impact—awarding $74,000 to help 55 campers experience the magic of Jewish summer camp.

One of those campers is Michal. ✨

Hear from her about how camp strengthened her Jewish identity, built lifelong connections, and changed her life.

This is what your support makes possible. 🏕️💙

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Remembering Dolly Parton: The Inspiration Behind PJ Library
Today we pay tribute to a legendary storyteller whose impact went far beyond music.

Dolly’s Imagination Library helped inspire Harold Grinspoon to ask a simple question: What if we did something similar with Jewish books?

That idea became PJ Library, bringing Jewish stories, traditions, and values into millions of homes around the world.

Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the stories, and the inspiration.

May her memory be a blessing 🕯️

From St. Paul, Minnesota, to Tiberias, Israel ✡️

Our Federation's support is funding one additional Youth Futures mentor, giving 21 more children in Israel three years of individualized support to help them learn, grow, and thrive.

One mentor. 21 children. That's your generosity at work.
