Jewish Federation of Delaware We Grow Stronger TOGETHER AS ONE We provide opportunities to educate, inspire and celebrate a vibrant Jewish life. It's our responsibility. It's our privilege.

Every day, Jewish Federation of Delaware supports programs that feed, clothe, shelter, counsel and rescue thousands of people here in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, in Israel and around the world. It's who we are. Federation is the heart and soul of North American Jewry's philanthropic and humanitarian activities. It embodies a 3,500-year-old tradition of caring that goes back to the giving of the Torah and sustains us in the bold pursuit of Jewish community, Jewish values and Jewish peoplehood. Federation builds and strengthens Jewish community; from our hometown to our homeland, from the homebound to the homeless, from elderly Jews in Russia to North American teens discovering their birthright in Israel. Whether the task is reducing Jewish poverty and hunger, rescuing and resettling new immigrants, or spurring Jewish renaissance worldwide, federation is committed to seizing this moment in Jewish history to ensure the continuity of the Jewish people.

This week, we were honored to hear the inspiring story of Nina Appel and her family, who escaped Europe in the early 1940s and found refuge in the United States.

As Nina reminded us, the Holocaust happened in a country with a rich cultural heritage, reminding us that we must never take our safety and freedom for granted. We must remain vigilant and committed to ensuring that history never repeats itself.

Protecting our Jewish community is a shared responsibility. Learn more about our Jewish Community Security Campaign through the link in the first comment.
