About
Israel, Overseas, Advocacy and Community Relations: The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee (JFSM) works to address human and educational needs in Israel, the former Soviet Union, Poland and over 70 countries around the world. Examples of specific programs funded include: * The Heller Community Relations Committee (CRC), formerly the Heller Israel Advocacy Initiative, was established to build relationships within the Jewish and non-Jewish communities to advance common interests through education and advocacy. The CRC works with our partners to advocate for peace and security in Israel, increases community awareness of issues affecting the American Jewish community and Israel; raises consciousness of, and actively confronts anti-Semitism on a global level; and, directly addresses anti-Israel activities in Sarasota-Manatee. Under the auspices of the CRC, Gulf Coast Hillel works on the college campuses of New College of Florida, USF Sarasota-Manatee and Ringling College of Art + Design to address issues of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric. The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement is quickly growing on college campuses under the guise that it is a peaceful solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Through meetings with college administrators, educational programming and holiday celebrations for students, Gulf Coast Hillel provides a positive and active presence on our local campuses and helps to create future Jewish leaders. ** Federation staff and volunteers build personal relationships with clergy, civic, and community leadership ** This initiative has sponsored numerous speakers and programs and five interfaith missions to Israel. * The Women's Giving Circle is made up of women in the Sarasota-Manatee area who are dedicated to funding projects designed to improve the lives of women and children in Israel. Members make a contribution and have a voice in determining the allocation of funds. Having just completed its sixth year, the Circle has grown to 84 members who in 2018 awarded 8 organizations a total of $40,788. As an example two of the recipients were American Friends of Leket Israel to support their program to feed at-risk youth in Israel, and Orr Shalom, which provides essential clothing and equipment packs for at-risk orphans. * Each year, the Federation selects local high school students to participate in the prestigious Bob Malkin Young Ambassadors Teen Leadership Program (BMYA). This educational and spiritual journey allows teens to develop leadership skills, explore who they are as individuals and as a team, and learn first-hand the importance of Israel to Jews around the world. In addition to the highly subsidized trip, the program includes regular pre- and post- mission meetings, social events, and leadership training, during which the students will develop their relationships with one another and with Israel, and become ambassadors in our community. In 2018, twelve students participated in the Bob Malkin Young Ambassadors Teen Leadership Program. More than 190 high school students have participated in this program since its onset. * Overseas Grants: **ZAKA Search and Rescue to provide K-9 leadership and training program for at-risk youth in Kiryat Malachi, a city in Israel's southern periphery, situated near the Gaza border, where children and youth suffer from higher rates of PTSD. ** American Friends of Leket Israel: This grant provided a truck to make food pickups and deliveries throughout the country, and also supports a program that delivers hot meals to vulnerable seniors living in government hostels. ** Yad Ezra V'Shulamit is a humanitarian organization that helps needy families in Israel overcome poverty. The grant provides support for their Feed a Baby project, which delivers baby formula, baby food, diapers, wipes and other infant necessities to new mothers who live below the poverty line.
