Message from Martin Ted Mayden and Mark S. Freedman

Jewish Federation Board of Directors (2011-12)

Change is good.

This old adage neatly summarizes events at the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee over the past year. Because the Federation is blessed with creative and thoughtful volunteer and professional leadership the positive change we speak of was not left to chance.

It resulted from a high level of communal engagement that has driven new ways of doing business at Federation.

The impetus for change was the Best Jewish Nashville project, a broad-based communitywide assessment process undertaken in 2010.

Now, as we enter into the third year of the Best Jewish Nashville experience, we are energized by sharpened focus on how and what we ask of our generous donors in requesting their essential support of the Federation's Annual Campaign.

Over the past two years, we established new funding priorities and encouraged our local beneficiary agencies to engage in collaborative efforts with other local Jewish institutions. And when grants are awarded to our beneficiary agencies, each a valued partner, we are better able to assess and track the impact of funded programs on our primary clients–Jews in need.

Our annual report is designed to give you a clear picture of the profound impact of Best Jewish Nashville on Federation and, more importantly, on our community here, nationwide and around the world. Many highly committed and thoughtful individuals, supported by clearly articulated priorities and a transparent and consultative process, are involved in making the critical decisions about spending precious Federation resources which are, we never fail to recognize, the gifts and support of our donors.

We are serving more clients in more settings and we are touching more Jewish lives. All of this is the direct result of the Nashville Jewish community entrusting its faith and investing its confidence in the Federation. For that we are both humbled and very grateful to all of you.

We hope that this annual report provides you with an opportunity to see beyond the big picture of the Jewish Federation. We hope you see how our communal "canvas" is created; how change looks as it is layered on canvas with the love, devotion and caring that is worthy of the Jewish people.

We invite you to join us in the Federation enterprise, ever-changing yet eternally committed to core Jewish values, which celebrates our proud heritage and our lasting love of family, friends and community in Nashville, in Israel and in all other places where Jewish life exists.

Our Jewish community is expanding geographically, and thanks to the Satellite Suburb Shabbat Dinner program, The Temple and GJCC served a total of 200 Shabbat dinners in emerging areas of population growth and added dozens of new families to our community.

Vanderbilt Hillel targeted its Senior Class for increased involvement in areas of engagement, philanthropy, and leadership development with the long-term goal of creating a bridge to our Nashville Jewish community for these emerging adults. Thirty to 50 students each year have participated in this initiative.

NCJW’s Buz-A-Bus has expanded to offer night and weekend service to Jewish organizations that would like to provide transportation for seniors to attend Jewish events and services.

Congregation Micah, through the new Serving our Seniors program, offers weekly live web-streaming of Shabbat services to 25 community homebound seniors. Newly purchased book lights, reading glasses, large-print siddurim, and sound amplifiers are available to worshipers. Monthly speaker programs draw 15-20 seniors.

Hosted by West End Synagogue in cooperation with all the community clergy, Shabbat Calling currently offers a live weekly conference call to 20 seniors at home featuring Shabbat prayers, music, stories, and conversation. Over 160 individual Shabbat Calling calls have been received.

Musical Helping Hands at JFS matches trained Jewish musicians with senior adults living with Alzheimer’s or dementia for monthly sessions to stimulate memory and to experience the healing powers of music. Currently eight families are served by this program.

Learn and Lunch, offered by West End Synagogue and Congregation Sherith Israel, has served 340 kosher lunches to the 20-50 seniors who attend twice-monthly Jewish educational programs and meals.

Nashville community members share dinner in Hadera, Israel to mark the 10th anniversary of the Jewish Agency’s Partnership2Gether program. Through the program, Jews from Nashville and other Southeastern cities have built friendships and learned about life in Israel’s Hadera-Eiron region.

Offer programs targeting Israel education and advocacy training Our New Initiatives Fund supported seven new programs to increase Israel education including: Increase Your Israel IQ, coordinated by the Community Relations Committee, offered a series of expert speakers on current Israel-themed topics.

Over 200 community members of varying viewpoints participated in the Community Conversations on Israel, which yielded five agreed-upon goals for conduct when discussing Israel.

Fourteen middle school students at Sherith Israel were connected by virtual classroom to a master teacher in Jerusalem by J-Connect, which offered an Israel-rich curriculum.

The Nashville Jewish Educators Network hired an Israel Educator to improve the quality and frequency of our communitywide Israel education.

Over 150 families from Congregation Micah and Akiva School built the Old City of Jerusalem, Masada, and the Warsaw Ghetto out of Lego Building Blocks for an unforgettable weekend of learning.

JAFI and JDC educated 300 Nashvillians about worldwide Jewry’s strengths and challenges.

Thirteen promising young leaders were sent on leadership development programs in Israel and Beltsy, Moldova, and have returned to educate and reinvigorate Nashville about the needs of Jews worldwide.

Inbar Shaked, our community shlicha (educator and ambassador), offered dozens of programs to hundreds of participants, thereby deepening our knowledge of and love for Israel.

Target campaign funds to critical Jewish needs locally, nationally, and worldwide Our newly designed priority-based program funding allows Federation to target donor dollars to areas that YOU identified as most critical. All funded programs must demonstrate that goals and outcomes are met. We continue to support our partner agencies to offer the best services to educate our children, care for our at-risk individuals, provide for our seniors, enrich our community, engage new volunteers and leaders, and build a strong Jewish future in Nashville, Israel, and worldwide.

Jewish Foundation For the past 32 years, the Jewish Foundation of Nashville, the endowment arm of the Jewish Federation, has helped community members support the causes they care about most. Along with our local Jewish agencies and congregations, we are building a strong and vibrant Jewish community, now and into the future. With assets approaching $25 million, we are well positioned for growth, and we have much to celebrate.

The Jewish Foundation is a vital and significant source for the important programs and services the Federation funds. In the past year, the Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund has provided approximately 13 percent of all grants distributed through the Federation. Additionally, the Annual Campaign receives about 25 percent of its gifts through Donor Advised Funds housed with the Foundation.

The B’nai Tzedek program – Foundation’s teen philanthropy program funded through the generosity of the Feldman, Hassenfeld and Rapoport families – is designed to educate and encourage the next generation of Jewish philanthropists. The program had a banner year, seeing the number of B’nai Tzedek funds grow to 280 as teens directed monies to a variety of Jewish and non-Jewish charities important to them. The annual B’nai Tzedek event examined teen life in Israel and the United States, as Federation Israel emissary Inbar Shaked shared with the teens what it was like for her as a young soldier in the Israeli Defense Force.

To ensure the financial future of our Jewish community, the newly formed Jewish Foundation Development Committee recently met. Members are listed on page 3. With their help and yours, we will secure the future so that those who follow will benefit from a strong and vibrant Jewish community.

The Jewish Foundation is honored to be the community’s trusted resource for philanthropy for generations into the future. What is important to you in the Jewish community? How do you wish to be remembered? The security of our beloved community lies in your answer to these questions.

As the Foundation moves forward, we hope you will consider a planned gift or bequest that will achieve your legacy.

Please contact Risa Klein Herzog, director of Foundation development, at 354-1651 or email risa@jewishnashville.org to discuss your own philanthropic goals.

Michelle Biesman (left in top photo), Tali Sedek and Vivian Herzog show how they and other B’nai Tzedeks created a poster (shown below top photo) for soldiers in Shlicha Inbar Shaked’s IDF company.
