Eight community partners joined the program in order to secure legacy commitments for their future.

The eight community partners include Beth Abraham Synagogue, Chabad, Hillel Academy, the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Family Services, the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton, Temple Beth Or and Temple Israel.

Year one of the program ended with the partners securing 231 legacy gifts to benefit our Jewish community here in Dayton. The incredible amount of letters (160% of goal) is a true reflection of the generous and caring philanthropic spirit of our community.

For more information on LIFE & LEGACY, please contact Janese Sweeny, Foundation Director at (937) 401-1542 or jsweeny@jfgd.net.

It’s hard to believe that in just five weeks, Spring will officially be here. The weather over the past month has been, well, let’s just say, interesting. I’m a big fan of snow, but I know I’m probably an exception to the rule. Between the snow and bitter cold temperatures, I’m sure cabin fever has set in for some people. The good news is temperatures are finally in a much more acceptable range, and the snow is slowly melting. If you are ready to get out of the house, the JCC has two events coming up that may be of...

Cathy Gardner

Since 1970, February has also been known as Black History Month. It serves as a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history, while also recognizing their struggles for acceptance and equality. Sadly, the Black community still experiences prejudice to this very day. As Jewish people, we too have experienced our own struggles with acceptance and equality. It was not too long ago that Jewish people were banned from living in certain communities or belonging to certain clubs. The latter was even a part of the storyline of S3, EP15 of The Golden Girls. The episode,...

Looking Back
Cathy Gardner

As we stand on the edge of 2026, I can’t help but reflect on the last year. It has been filled with ups and downs for many of us on a personal level, and as a Jewish community. As an organization, the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton and its Agencies have had a very busy year. Here are just a few highlights of what we accomplished in 2025: Since October 7, 2023, we have seen a significant increase in antisemitism throughout the world – including here in Ohio. What became evident in the wake of 10/7 was the need for...
