End of Year Appeal 2023
Since October 7th, our world has not been the same. Antisemitism is on the rise, images of war flash across our screens, and sounds of hatred echo in our cities. This takes a heavy toll on all of us, even here at JFS Orlando. Two of our own are directly affected by the war in Israel. Aaron Bernstein is an Israeli/American that grew up in Jerusalem and Madison Eckleman, both have family & friends in Israel.

With average food costs increasing 11% and rents 20%, the hardships for those we serve in our community continue to grow…
There is much more work to do, as together we continue to make an impact in the lives of those in need.
We could not do this without you.
From all of us at JFS Orlando and especially those we serve, thank you!
