President’s ReportMark Sklarz, Federation President

The last year has been a challenging period for our Federation. Fortunately, we are blessed with outstanding senior management whose perseverance and enthusiasm is not dampened by difficult circumstances. In particular, our CEO, Sydney Perry, a Chief Executive without peer in the energy, intelligence and dedication she brings as the face of the community, has just signed a new three year agreement. Nevertheless, as re-sources shrink, the ability to achieve our goals becomes more difficult and the Federation is challenged to discover strategies for both addressing immediate needs and planning diligently for the future.

To attempt to understand the changes in the community and to establish responsive long-term objectives for diversifying and balancing our community portfolio, we have embarked upon a comprehensive strategic plan-ning process. First, we commissioned a detailed Population Study conducted by nationally recognized expert, Dr. Ira Sheskin. This study was completed in February and “rolled out” to the community through a series of presentations. (The results are available on the Federation website, jewishnewhaven.org). The analysis has provided invaluable information, including data addressing the size, composition, geographic location, age, knowledge and financial capacity of our Jewish population. Over the next several months, we will be engaging in focus groups and further study through the guidance of the Ostroff Group and strategic planning profession-als in our community. Our goal is to develop specific options on which to plan our future.

Certainly, education and the delivery of services from cradle to grave will always be at the heart of the Federa-tion mission. But in the current climate of uncertainty and apprehension, they are even more important. Of course, maximizing our financial resources must be a primary theme. This necessitates a re-engineering of our campaign and fund raising structure to adapt to new concepts, sophisticated technology and more diversified needs and objectives. We must expand our participation, increase efficiency and elevate our level of giving. To begin this process, we have convened a Search Committee, chaired by Past Federation presidents Betsy Hoos and Leslie Zackin to search for a knowledgeable and inspirational Chief Development Officer, whose function will be to create and implement a total financial resource plan process for the community.

Throughout history, our ancestors have confronted innumerable challenges, threats and crises. Yet, no matter how devastating, each situation became an opportunity to create a better and stronger future for succeeding generations of Jewish people. President Obama premised his 2008 campaign on the inspirational slogan, “Yes, we can.” For over fifty centuries, our ancestors have always proceeded one step further by demonstrat-ing, “Yes, we did.’’ I know our community will do no less.

Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven


Community Buildingn The Jewish Federation completed its first demographic study in 20 years and its first-ever population study. The community now has powerful data tools to help us make strategic decisions.

n Under the leadership of Stephen Saltzman, the strate-gic planning committee is working towards making recom-mendations for review and discussion at a community retreat in September.

n New American Acculturation education, cultural and Judaic programs have attracted many more participants this year. A Women of Vision grant allowed intergen-erational groups of Jews from the former Soviet Union the opportunity to come together for some emotionally impactful discussions.

Leadershipn The Eder Leadership cohort completed their fellowship in September and several have accepted new or expand-ed positions with community organizations.

Community Outreach and Assistancen Neighbor-to-Neighbor Lifeline, a partnership with the United Way, was able to distribute $600,000 to families in need in New Haven and on the shoreline for a third year.

n The Federation raised $100,000 additional dollars for the Jewish Family Service’s Serving Our Survivors (SOS) program.

n The Jewish Scholarship Initiative provided $167,805 in subsidies for children attending formal or informal Jew-ish educational activities, We funded nursery school, day camp and Camp Laurelwood, synagogue supplementary schools, Talmud Torah Meyuchad, MAKOM and area day schools.

n The Cemetery Association beautified Jewel Street Cem-etary with new trees and sidewalks.

n With Federation and Foundation financial support Birthright Israel made it possible for record numbers of young people from New Haven, 19-26, to go to Israel on a ten day soul-searching experience.

Emergency Fund-Raising Effortsn The New Haven Jewish community responded with alacrity and generosity when a massive earthquake hit Japan, resulting in a tsunami and nuclear reactor disaster. Through the auspices of JDC, our community joined the other 157 Jewish Federation system in providing emergen-cy care for the victims of global natural disasters.

n As we lit our Hanukkah candles this year, Israel ex-perienced an unprecedented disaster when forest fires swept through the Carmel region in the North of Israel, devastating the largest green area in the country, requir-ing massive evacuations and leveling three separate areas, including the youth village of Yemin Orde for at-risk children. The Jews of Greater New Haven responded to this calamity with Hanukkah gelt that assisted Israel in helping to rebuild the land of Israel and the homes which were destroyed.

n There was an outpouring of support for the Victims of Terror Fund after the brutal massacre of five members of the Fogel family in Itamar on a Friday evening and when an explosive device detonated at a bus stop at the entrance to Jerusalem, killing one and burning and maiming dozens.

Israel and OverseasAnnual Campaign gifts helped support a rape crisis center in our Partnership 2000 community of Afula, a shelter for abused women and children and co-existence projects in the Gilboa region. We also supported a cen-ter for children-at-risk and an absorption center.

n Now, on the 20th anniversary of the Operation Solo-mon which brought more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel “on the wings of eagles,” the Jewish Agency (JAFI) is bringing the remaining 8000 Falashas to Israel.


Shoreline Office n We hired a part-time program director in 2010 and moved to a larger space. This allowed us to offer more events in the lower Connecticut Valley area and to provide space for partner agencies and their programs on the Shoreline.

n Federation’s Shoreline programs included: the Wom-en’s Seder at Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek; an Apples and Honey program at Sukkot; several PJ Library sessions and a Jewish movie series at Madison Art Cinemas.

Women’s Philanthropyn Hosted best-selling author Dani Shapiro for a pre-sentation at the JCC about her personal memoir, Devo-tion. The event attracted 75 people, many of whom had never been to a Women’s Philanthropy event before.

n Through our Women’s Network affinity group, we presented a workshop on how to use Linked-In and Facebook for personal and professional networking. More than 65 people attended.

n In cooperation with the Federation’s Shoreline office, Women’s Philanthropy brought noted Middle-East expert Dr. Jonathan Schanzer to Guilford for a public presentation about the Hamas-Fatah partnership and its impact on Israel and the peace process. 70 people attended.

n This year, Women’s Philanthropy is approaching its goal of 1 million dollars for the Annual Federation Cam-paign in Greater New Haven.

Holocaust Education and Prejudice Reduction Program

n Hosted a summer seminar for New Haven area middle and high school teachers entitled “Race and Membership in the United States: Complexities and Contradictions.” The institute was conducted by Dimitri Anselme, national director of staff development for Fac-ing History and Ourselves.

n Presented “Responding to the Holocaust: Three Scholars’ Perspectives,” featuring Dr. Timothy Snyder, Dr. Laurence Langer and Dr. Samuel Kassow. Sixty teachers and community members attended.

Jewish Community Relations Council n Hosted Peter Beinart speaking on the failure of the American Jewish establishment to engage much of today’s Jewish youth in support of Israel. Over 200 people attended.

n Sponsored a panel of experts on state health care reform and voted to support House Bill 6305, to fund and implement the SustiNet health plan.

n Participated with Interfaith Cooperative Ministries in vigils and prayer services for religious tolerance on the anniversary of 9/11 and at a local Muslim mosque that was defaced.

Jewish Coalition For Literacy n Joya Marks, a well-known, local educator, attended round table discussions with JCL reading partners to help them enhance their sessions with students.

n JCL volunteers learned to ‘read a painting’ at The Yale Center for British Art. The program taught volun-teers to use art in the classroom as a way to teach literacy skills.

n Michael Sampson, PhD., Dean, School of Education, Southern CT. State University was the keynote speaker at JCL’s Volunteer Appreciation Reception on Thursday, May 26th.


Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven


The Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven is nowthe Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, Inc.In March 2011, the Jewish Foundation filed the necessary documents to become a non-stock corporation in the State of Connecticut. This change in corporate status will separate and protect the Jewish Foundation endowment funds from the operating activities of the Jewish Federation and the JCC. Prior to March 2011, the Jewish Foundation was not corporately separate from the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven, Inc. In addition, the Jewish Foundation has also applied to the IRS for its own tax-exempt determination letter.

In order to protect the Jewish Foundation assets, a committee was formed to research and evaluate different types of asset protection and insurance structures for the Jewish Foundation. The committee, in consultation with outside counsel and the Jewish Federations of North America, looked at a number of types of possible corporate structures—the structure that was chosen for the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, Inc. is a Type I Supporting Organiza-tion of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven, Inc. This structure was recommended as the best means to help ensure that the Jewish Foundation and the Jewish Federation continue to work together, while also providing protec-tion for and separation of the Jewish Foundation assets .


n Look for the new Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, Inc. website to be unveiled in the next few months. The new site will feature donor stories, inter-active gift plans, and much more!

n We are moving all 530 current funds to a fund man-agement database. This will allow the Foundation to more easily record gifts and process charitable distribu-tions, track fund activity and communicate with donors. The database is scheduled to be up and running by late summer.

n In conjunction with the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, we hosted a program for Accoun-tants, Attorneys, Trust Officers, Financial Planners and other Professional Advisors. Attorney Conrad Teitell was the presenter.

Jewish Community Center of Greater New Haven


Community Gatherings and Commemorative EventsShalom New Haven Event In September the JCC coordinated its second annual community-wide celebration of Jewish life in New Ha-ven. Area synagogues, day schools, community orga-nizations and institutions gathered together to listen to music, enjoy kosher food and celebrate Jewish culture. Free Play DayOur annual winter open house had a full-menu of activi-ties designed to showcase our programs and activities. The fitness department provided mini-sessions and there was ‘free play’ available for families in the gym and pool. More than 500 people came through the doors in five hours. This event capped a month-long membership campaign which added 127 new mem-bers to the JCC family.Yom HaShoahOver 400 members of the greater New Haven commu-nity gathered at the JCC Vine Auditorium to commemo-rate the Holocaust on Sunday, May 1st. Local clergy and members of the community participated in the program. The keynote speaker was Judith Altman, survivor, and a 2010 March of the Living participating scholar. Yom HaZikaron On Sunday, May 8th we honored and remembered the fallen soldiers and victims of terror who sacrificed their lives for the safety and security of Israel. The ceremo-nies were led by many people including our Israeli emis-sary, Lisa Ahuvia, and her fellow friends from the region, local clergy and members of the community.

Health and Wellnessn Largest Loser continues to be a strong program in both participant results and generating revenue. This year we had four teams and a shadow team for both the spring and fall sessions. Largest Losers have lost more than 6,500 pounds in six seasons at the JCC. n We now offer more than 60 free group exercise pro-grams, giving us a competitive advantage within our catch-ment area. Our very popular Zumba classes (five weekly) often fill the room. Other popular group programs include Pilates, pain free-yoga and spinning.n Our personal training staff has expanded to include TRX, boxing and many others. We now have a consulting nutritionist as part of our fitness team.n The JCC’s Adult Softball League grew to nine teams and over 100 players.n The JCC Youth Biddy Basketball Program, among the larg-est in the country, enrolled 160 boys and girls this year.n Former Olympians Josh Davis and Ian Crocker held a successful swim clinic for our JCC swim team and members.

Arts and CultureSpeakers SeriesThe JCC launched “Perspectives,” a new arts and culture series presenting thought-provoking topics by award-win-ning speakers. The inaugural programs featured Attorney Tom Ullmann, public defender in Petit family murder case, and Pulitzer-Prize winning Playwright Donald Mar-gulies in conversation with Long Wharf’s Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein. Arts for the CenterThe Center revived its Arts for the Center program withthe M’Dor L’Dor exhibit in which 30 artists explored the nature of doors, both physical and metaphorical. Artists created new works celebrating generational heritage and cultural diversity. The exhibit attracted extensive media coverage, including a feature in the New Haven Register. An auction of the works in the show concluded the month-long event.


Center for Jewish Life and LearningMadrichim InstituteThe Madrichim Institute facilitates teens working as teacher’s aides in local supplementary schools. Last year, seventeen participants representing nine different schools participated in seminars on drama, technology, music, experiential learning and museum educationChaverChaver is a program for Jewish teens that explores the Jewish values of spending time with the elderly and sick. Participants spent time at the Towers, visited a local nurs-ing home and were trained at Yale New Haven Hospital. Global Day of Jewish LearningOn the first ever Global Day of Jewish Learning (a celebration of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz’ completion of his Talmud commentary), two CJLL-led programs brought to-gether students in grades 3-7 from eight local synagogue schools for a day of experiential learning about prayer.Adopt–A-SurvivorThe Adopt a Survivor program, now in its fourth year, paired MAKOM students with Holocaust survivors. Over the course of a year, the students learned about their survivor’s childhood, wartime experience and liberation. The students then created art projects based on the survivor’s experience which were displayed in the JCC lobby for the month of May.

Israeli EmissariesLisa Ahuvia, our Israeli Young Emissary in 2010, shared her Israeli culture with Ezra Academy, Southern Connect-icut Hebrew Academy, three senior residence facilities and various public schools and local universities. She also participated in programs with MAKOM and the Jew-ish Community Center and its pre-school.

Youth and Family Educationn Now completing its second year, Shabbat Friends is an increasingly popular weekly program for children under six which explores an aspect of Shabbat or an upcom-ing holiday through hands-on fun. Special presenters have included local rabbis, educators, musicians, and performers, as well as CJLL staff.
