Wow. Jewish Nashville is amazing. We did it. On December 31st, 2024, at 11:59pm, we hit the highest campaign goal we have had in years, over $2.47 million, zooming past our goal of $2.35 million and taking in over 1,250 gifts, more than we have had since 2018. It really was a team effort ...
As we start 2025, the first thing that I am holding is a sense of gratitude. This year we received more gifts from more people than we have since before the pandemic. We also regained a record number of lapsed donors, even though there are still more people out there that we need to connect with in ...
As we come into the home stretch for the 2024 Annual Campaign, I wanted to take a moment to give an update on how we are doing. November was a great month for us and in the first half of the month, we ended up closing over $200k in pledges and gifts in less than two weeks! The goal is in ...
With 2 months to go in our 2024 Annual Campaign, I have been reflecting on my first seven months here at Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville. It has been humbling seeing the generosity of our donors all around the community. Donors who have given for years are increasing their pledges and we have ...
Greetings Jewish Nashville! As you read this, we should be in the thick of the High Holidays, always a special time of year for us. And, as it so happens, it is the last three months of our 2024 Annual Campaign for Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville. Traditionally, the last ...
I have the deep honor of serving as West End Synagogue’s principal Shofarist or as Rabbi Joshua Kullock likes to put it, our official CSO, or Chief Shofar Officer. It’s a role I take very seriously, and I spend this time of year practicing and getting in shape for that important task. ...
Hello Jewish Nashville! By the time you read this, we will have finished most of Q3 of 2024 and the good news is we are doing great as we surge ahead in our campaign. But as I think we all know you just can’t give up when you think you are ahead. I was watching the Olympics this ...
A few hours ago, we said goodbye to our new family, our guests from the Hadera-Eiron region through the Partnership2Gether (P2G) program, who had spent the last 10 days with us in our homes and in Nashville. But for our family, the honor of being a host was a gift that we received, not a gift we gave. Seven ...
No, no, not that kind of campaign. The Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville’s 2024 Annual Campaign! So, here we are, halfway through the year, and as it happens, we are halfway to our annual campaign goal. Next year, by this point I’d like to be further ahead in the process, and we ...
As we approach these summer months, there’s so much to look forward to. Seeing the community around the JCC Pool, the fact that my kids will be gone for an entire month at their favorite place in the world, Camp Ramah Darom, my 21st wedding anniversary, or my daughter’s bat mitzvah coming up before ...
