Your support is critical to our success Help Federation reach its goal of helping thousands of Jews here and overseas. By Jewish Federation of Jacksonville
Many of you may receive the following letter last month. Please take a moment to consider making a pledge: On behalf of the Jewish Federation of Jacksonville, thank you for your past support of our Annual Campaign. We have not heard from you this year and hope that you still plan to renew or increase your pledge for the 2014 campaign. Your continued support is critical to our success. As the campaign comes to a close, we have yet to reach our goal. This goal is more than a dollar amount as it affects the lives of thousands, including many here in Jacksonville. Your pledge allows the Jewish Community Alliance, Jewish Family & Community Services, River Garden Senior Services, Jewish Community Foundation of Northeast Florida, Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, Torah Academy and our overseas partners to provide invaluable support locally, in Israel and in more than 70 countries worldwide. As a reminder, your pledge does not need to be paid in full until Dec. 31. You can also make a gift online at www. jewishjacksonville.org or by calling the Federation office at 904-448-5000. Thank you again for your continued support! Have a wonderful summer,
8505 San Jose Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32217

Welcome to the new jewishjacksonville.org By Jewish Federation of Jacksonville
The Jewish Federation of Jacksonville has launched its new website. The updated look features bolder photos, fonts, graphics and color. The website now includes dynamic social media and news feeds. Event calendars update automatically, and blogs stream effortlessly. The name is the same — www.jewishjacksonville.org — and you can still find your favorite pages such as the calendar and the Jewish News. Plus, there’s a new community section with descriptions and locations of Jacksonville’s Jewish agencies, synagogues and Jewish schools. Let us know what you think of the new look: jjn@jewishjacksonville.org.
