Enhancing
the JEWISH experience
2015-2016 Annual Report
A Message from the President and Executive Director Over the past two years we’ve continued to witness dynamic growth and engagement in our Nashville Jewish community. The Jewish Federation and Jewish Foundation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee plays a vital role in promoting opportunities that serve to enrich Jewish life for a diverse constituency that maintains wide and varied interests. In 2015, the Jewish Federation commissioned and sponsored the Nashville and Middle Tennessee Jewish Community Study. Working in concert with all of our local community partners to develop a comprehensive survey that was conducted by researchers at Brandeis University, we learned that we live in a Jewish community of highly involved individuals who participate in many aspects of Jewish life. To that end, we continue to strengthen the vital connection between Nashville and Israel both within and beyond our Jewish community. Just in the last year, we hosted a very successful Israel mission for mainline Christian Clergy, had local Jewish leaders participate in Governor Haslam’s Trade Mission to Israel, and we staged a CommUNITY Trip in March and April of 2016 with a record 83 participants representing all of our local congregations. Our deep and abiding commitment to the land and people of Israel remains steadfast as it moves towards the 70th anniversary of its independence as a modern state. We are concerned about Israel’s safety and security in an increasingly tumultuous and dangerous world, especially in the Middle East. In July of 2014, we came together as a united community, more than 500 strong, to rally for Israel as it was enduring daily rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. Through our “Stop the Sirens”
1
campaign, we raised over $150,000 to provide emergency relief and respite support for Israel’s besieged citizenry. We did so not out of obligation but as an expression of partnership and solidarity with our many friends and colleagues in Israel and for those we do not know but recognize as part of our family all the same. We’ve built stronger bonds through our Israel Partnership2Gether program in the city of Hadera and in the nearby Eiron region. Through the Partnership, on both sides of the ocean, we participated in educator exchanges, teen exchanges, artist exhibitions, and last year five Nashville musicians were featured on “Kosher Cuts,” a CD produced by the Partnership. As we have said on many occasions, while it is always important to “Stand with Israel” the Jewish Federation will continue to vigorously promote opportunities to “Stand in Israel.” We are clearly on an upward trajectory—our Jewish community is growing, opportunities for participation in Jewish life are expanding, our Annual Campaign, with the generous support of our many loyal and generous donors has increased every year since 2010, is now approaching $2.5 million and our Jewish Foundation assets have topped $30 million for the first time ever! We invite every member of the Nashville Jewish community to join us for the excitement and vibrancy of Jewish life in Nashville. After all, you are part of the family! Carol Hyatt President Mark S. Freedman Executive Director
TOGETHER WE DO A WORLD OF GOOD Our successes in 2015-2016
The Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee has experienced incredible growth over the past two years. Our rapidly evolving programs and services to appeal to every age range demonstrate our commitment to enhance the Jewish experience for everyone in our community. We understand the dynamic nature of Nashville & Middle Tennessee and have helped foster the transformation of key initiatives to make them a success in our community. These are just a few of the highlights of our work since 2014 in our effort to better meet the future needs of our community. • We enriched the Jewish journey of 83 community members on our CommUNITY trip to Israel by providing an opportunity to experience Israel as a UNITED community. • We provided Jewish Education incentive grants to enrich every age at all stages of life throughout our community. • Our newly formed Welcoming Ambassadors Program has improved the experience of being a Jewish newcomer in our community by engaging Ambassadors to help those new to the area find their place in the local Jewish community. • We have united diverse voices through our annual Community Relations Seder which merges different cultures and religions through a shared background and understanding of different traditions. • Our 2015 Nashville and Middle Tennessee Community Study provided important insight into our growing community and ensured our ability to respond strategically and collectively to our areas of unmet needs. • We are building the next generation of Jewish leaders through our NowGen program, which works to build and sustain a lifelong commitment to Jewish life by providing opportunities to build strong relationships through networking, education, and philanthropy.

PLANNING FOR A STRONG JEWISH FUTURE Working with community to ensure all needs are met.
11,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN APPROXIMATELY 4,700 HOMES INCLUDING 6,500 JEWISH ADULTS AND 1,500 JEWISH CHILDREN
In order to continue to plan for a vital, healthy, and engaged Jewish community, we commissioned the Steinhart Social Research Institute at the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University to conduct the 2015 Nashville and Middle Tennessee Jewish Community Study. From the study, we learned that we are a highly engaged community which values the collaborative spirit of our professionals, congregations, and agencies. We also learned that we have much more to do to welcome newcomers, to engage those who are marginally involved, to reach out to interfaith families, and to sustain those who live in economic uncertainty. This next year, we promise to carefully review and integrate this important data to underscore our areas of strength and respond strategically and collectively to our areas of unmet needs.

“This trip has been a dream of mine for many years and to witness it come to fruition with 83 participants was truly a sight to behold. We called it the Nashville CommUNITY trip, with an emphasis on UNITY for a reason. We wanted to show that Nashville is a UNITED community, UNITED in support and love for Israel, UNITED in making our own personal connection to the Jewish homeland. While we were diverse in many ways, from various religious backgrounds, from different congregations, some affiliated, others not, we were all united standing with Israel in Israel.” -Naomi Limor Sedek, Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee Campaign Director and Mission Manager

Through the Community Relations Committee, we are uniting diverse voices through shared values. One example is through our annual Community Relations Seder. This year’s Seder celebrated the 50th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, a landmark document that ushered in a new era of friendship between the Jewish and Catholic communities. 350 Jews and Catholics attended – rabbis and priests, cantors and nuns, lay leaders and high school students of both faiths – dining, praying, singing, and dancing together. The evening ended with an unexpected hora that snaked around the perimeter of the auditorium at the Gordon JCC – truly a spontaneous, lovely ending to a wonderful night.

JUDAISM, CULTURE, AND ENGAGEMENT Promoting inclusion and inspiring the expression of our shared heritage.
Throughout our diverse community, we gather together to express our culture and strengthen our sense of unity. We share Shabbat dinners together with family and friends. We honor our heritage together through events such as Yom Hashoah. We welcome new faces to Nashville together through our Welcoming Ambassadors Program, a new initiative that aims to help newcomers ease into Jewish life in Nashville. Our Ambassadors call on newcomers to welcome them and answer questions. They help to build relationships within the community and help each person find a comfortable place within Jewish communal life. Also, every few months newcomer receptions are held in Ambassadors’ homes to continue to welcome newcomers and even those that have lived here for a while but still feel new to the area.
Newcomers and Welcoming Ambassadors gather together to meet and build new relationships in our community.

ISRAEL AND GLOBAL JEWISH NEEDS
Supporting and strengthening Jews in Israel and in every corner of the globe where Jews live. The Ethiopian National Project is transforming the lives of Ethiopian-Israeli high school students in Hadera through personalized tutoring and social empowerment programs.
Prior to our CommUNITY trip and following up on our intensive review of Israel and Overseas funded programs, a team of six; Carol Hyatt, Fred Zimmerman, Ben Russ, Robin Cohen, Mark Cohen, and Harriet Schiftan participated in a Deep-Dive in Israel during which they conducted in-depth and strategic meetings with all our overseas partners. The team visited World ORT, Ethiopian National Project, the Jewish Agency for Israel, the American Joint Distribution Committee, Partnership2Gether, MAKSAM, and Mifalot in order to better understand the most successful responses to social needs so that we can best direct our local resources where they are most beneficial and impactful.
