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.

This week has been very difficult for Jews around the world, especially in Israel. People with friends and family in Israel are trying their best to keep in touch with their loved ones, and act as a source of strength during this difficult time. We here at the Federation have been keeping abreast of the situation through webinars provided by Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), and through contact with our friends in our Partnership2Gether (P2G) area and Dayton’s sister city of Holon. When an Iranian missile strike hit Holon, we wanted to make sure citizens in the city knew...

Local Leaders Express Views on Antisemitism
Cathy Gardner

Since October 7th, figuring out how we, as Jews, feel about the global Jewish community and the rise in antisemitism here in the United States has been increasingly difficult to articulate.

Last Sunday, the Dayton Daily News published opinion pieces from three Jewish community leaders ~ Jeff Blumer (Jewish Community Relations Council Director), Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz (Senior Rabbi at Temple Israel) and Rabbi Judy Chessin (Senior Rabbi at Temple Beth Or) ~ each brilliantly capturing their views...

Eighty Years Later

As we prepare to remember and honor those who perished and survived during the Holocaust, we must not forget the stories of the Liberators. At this Sunday’s Yom Hashoah Observance, we will hear from Elaine Buckler, who will share the story of her father, Paul Buckler, who participated in the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29, 1945. I was fortunate enough to hear another liberator’s story earlier this week, when I attended the 45th Annual Governor’s Holocaust Commemoration. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine shared the story of his father, who participated in the liberation of Dachau as part of...
