2012 Annual Report - The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
BE | INVOLVED. BE | A PHILANTHROPIST.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to strengthen Jewish identity, energize the
relationship with Israel, and meet human needs that are uniquely
the obligation of the Jewish community.
We are the central Jewish community-building organization of the
greater Palm Beaches, serving residents from Boynton Beach to
Jupiter and west to Wellington.
“
The mission of Federation and
the business that we do is really
crucial and really essential, and
you can see the results of it. We
make a tangible difference in the
community and that, to me, is
amazing. As a people, we have
so much to offer, and as a Jewish
person I have an obligation—to the community here,
the community overseas and the people who came
before me.
”
– SAM FRIEDMAN

Perspective:
A Conversation
Between (and with) our
President & CEO
Federation President Mark F. Levy and
CEO David Phillips recently sat down to reflect on
the challenges and joys of guiding our community during
2011-2012. Here are some of the pointed and pertinent
questions they asked — and answered — during their
candid conversation.
MARK: In 2012, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County
marked its 50th anniversary. As someone looking through a
“new” lens, what would you say we have to show for our
five-decades?
DAVID: While I’ve been here a relatively short time, this is a
remarkable community. We have all the makings of a stunningly
successful Jewish community, complete with synagogues,
and social, recreational and educational outlets. We also have
extraordinarily dedicated leaders and staff — at Federation
and our partner agencies — who all share a desire to see our
institutions healthy and maximizing impact.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012 3

MARK: What do you think makes Federation different than
our partners?
DAVID: Here at Federation, we don’t run summer camp, give
therapy, rehabilitate people, provide inspirational Shabbat
services or the tools for Jewish educators. That’s the role of our
partner agencies*, each of which are spectacular in their function.
Federation’s responsibility is planning for our community’s future,
helping develop capacity for new and innovative programming.
*The Jewish Community Center of the Greater Palm Beaches, Commission for Jewish
Education of the Palm Beaches, Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family & Children’s Service,
Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy and Lola and Saul Kramer Senior Services Agency, Inc., a
subsidiary of MorseLife.
DAVID: How would you define our business?
MARK: I think a lot of people don’t know the extent of what
we do! We’re in the business of Building Community, which we
accomplish with a diverse group of outstanding volunteer and
professional leaders of all ages — from all walks of life — who join
us at the Federation table, where we plan for the collective future
that we all wish to realize. People need to understand the wealth
of expertise we bring…the value we add to the community. We
provide guidance and counsel, help and assistance, and longterm
vision. We breed leadership, and direct resources that we
spend wisely, monitor carefully and evaluate collaboratively.
MARK: What would you say our product is?
DAVID: When you think about it, our real product is people.
We work to keep them safe, sound and secure, whether hungry,
unemployed, or having special needs. Whether in want of a Jewish
education, summer camp or Israel experience, financial assistance
to feed their families or pay their rent, or exercise program.
Whatever their issues are, Federation is focused on addressing
these concerns every day, working to raise and distribute the
funds that keep the programs, institutions and values that enrich
Jewish community — at home and abroad — vibrant and strong.
MARK: The fact is, Federation is active in 70 countries around
the world. That’s a lot of countries…and a lot of people. A lot of
mouths to feed, and bodies to clothe, provide shelter for, counsel
and rescue. We do that — and much more — and we all consider
our work both an honor and a privilege. We also advocate,
mediate, educate and train future leadership. We are a complex,
multi-dimensional agency, the impact of which is so important
that it can actually be difficult to grasp and explain.

DAVID: If you had to encapsulate our actions of the past 50
years, how would you define our role?
MARK: In our 50 years, we have directed millions of dollars into
the Jewish world and done infinite good.
MARK: How do you think the next 50 years will be different
than the previous 50?
DAVID: This past year we took a long, hard look at ourselves,
noting that the world around us has changed and we needed to
change as well. In 2012, we started on a new path, our goal being
to achieve new standards of excellence and be ready to accept
and adapt to the rapid cultural and technological advances that
society has made, and that our donor base is demanding. I like to
think of Federation as an infinite source of renewable energy…a
breeding ground for leadership…a safe place to direct dreams
and resources. We are thinking strategically and planning our
infrastructure for the next five to 10 years. We will lead. We will
be the role model. We will run towards issues, pushing forward
to build on our past successes while embracing the change
necessary for our future.
MARK: The following pages of this Annual Report will share
a capsule of the year that was. What message(s) would you
like our readers to come away with?
DAVID: Moving towards tomorrow, we will continue to strive to
provide every person with a life of dignity and comfort. We will
continue to dream of a rich, vibrant, engaged and connected
Jewish future. We will continue to aspire to lead…creating a spirit
of giving and hope for others to emulate. We are committed,
passionate, goal-oriented and ambitious. The future is in our
hands. Together, anything is possible…if we dream big and bold.

A note of thanks
from the President & CEO
Your contributions — of time, talent and philanthropic dollars —
touched the lives of so many in so many areas throughout the world. Thank you
for taking part in our community-building efforts, as a volunteer, participant
and/or contributor. You are our heroes.
“
We are going to build true partnerships that’ll not only enhance
the lives of Jews here in our own community, but help us engage in
issues that are of a national concern to Jews, and the international
concerns that we all have; the Jews who live in the former Soviet
Union, the Jews that live In Israel and around the world. It’s a small
world…getting smaller all the time, and when we are engaged with
Jews everywhere, we are all stronger and better for it.
”
– MARK F. LEVY, President

“ A
hero is
someone
who understands
the responsibility
that comes with
his freedom.
– Bob Dylan
”
“
We’re going to end up with
a very strong, very vibrant,
hopefully very financially stable
Jewish Federation, which will
make Palm Beach County a great
place for my kids, their kids, and
everybody else’s kids!
”
– RON PERTNOY
ANNUAL REPORT 2012 7

There are heroes among us every day, whether we know them or not…or
fully realize the impact their actions make.
“
Volunteering is not
something I do because
I say to myself, ‘I have
to volunteer.’ I guess it
just comes from inside
of me.
”
– SY DONNER
Who are these heroes? The people who are doing the right
thing, living their lives to the fullest, and creating impact
around them by making a difference in the communities they
care about and support. They’re volunteers. Family members.
Friends and neighbors. Teachers. Learners. Organizers. Event,
meeting, program and lecture participants.
Where are they? Everywhere in our community’s fast-paced,
active and engaged life.
At the gym, preschool, day school and office. On the other end of your telephone. Behind
a computer. Thinking, planning and addressing issues that help keep the community
vibrant and thriving…celebrating its uniqueness and many successes.
There are so many ways to
make an impact, so many
things to do…so much of a
difference we can all make!
The days flow one into the
other, humming with purpose
and direction as we share
in cultivating this precious
community and planning for
the future we envision in this
place we all call home.
“
Federation is very important in this
community. It always has been and
continues to be. We need leadership
and strength. We need to come
together. We need to work together.
We need to be strong and unified
like never before.
”
– ZELDA MASON

“A strong aspect of being Jewish is
providing leadership, and leading by
example…giving other people the
opportunity to take part in that…
being a productive member of your
Jewish community…making the
Jewish community here stronger.
”
– ANDREW COMITER
Everyone in our community has the opportunity to be a hero.
There are heroes among us at every turn; some we know, others who are unseen and
unsung, and still more who will join the ranks.
The story of the Federation system is more than a century old. It began with a need: to
care for our extended Jewish family…to nurture and sustain our people.
For 50 years, this is exactly what the Jewish
Federation of Palm Beach County has done
— together with its partner agencies and our
generous donors. 2012 was no different; as
we’ve done in years past, we accomplished
some extraordinary things.
Each and every day — with humility and
a keen awareness of our great communal
responsibility — we formulated ideas and
“
It’s a wonderful thing to be able to change
people’s lives, help them solve problems
and to educate. I get up every day with
more than 13 million people who are
my responsibility, and that’s big! This
community has come a long way in 50 years,
and there’s still a lot of opportunity here.
”
– BARBARA KAY
acted for the betterment of Jewish life…honored our past, traditions and remarkable
growth…took note of where we currently were and — even more importantly — where we
hoped to be tomorrow. The tomorrow we envisioned has, at its core, a Jewish future with
prepared and informed Jewish leaders. This past year, we began to lay the groundwork to
ensure our shared successes that are yet to come.

AMONG OUR 2011-2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Saving and

Sometimes we face
overwhelming challenges
that can’t be overcome alone.
“
I believe that Federation is the
basic entity for the Jewish people
of this community, and it’s critical.
The survival of the Jewish people
is a very serious matter.
”
– H. IRWIN LEVY
That’s when a community comes together to share its strengths, whether that means

Enriching
Jewish life
People come to Judaism in
different ways, so it’s no surprise that
Federation supports a range of initiatives
to create a community that’s welcoming
and vibrant for all, regardless of religious
background or affiliation. With a multitude
of creative and exciting programs, we
inspire Jewish life and respond to each
individual’s search for meaning, connection
and community.
More than 5,000 people
attended advocacy sessions
throughout the year
by Federation’s Jewish
Community Relations
Council (JCRC), with elected
officials at the local, state
and federal level.
“I feel like I’ve put down roots. I feel
connected to the Jewish community here.
Jewish tradition is really, really important.
For me, it’s huge. To get involved is to
lead by example…so that your children
will do the same.
– SASHA KLEIN”

Building our global
Jewish community
Federation is Jewish Palm Beach County’s most important partner
in uniting Jewish communities around the globe. Through innovative initiatives with our
colleagues in Israel’s Tzahar Region and St. Petersburg, Russia, we transform the lives
of at-risk youth, rejuvenate Jewish spirit and culture and cultivate a continued vigor
in Jewish life.
More than 3,500 people took part in programs
designed to reestablish ties to Jewish traditions at
Adain Lo Jewish Family Center in St. Petersburg.
The International Center for Tzfat Kabbalah
is a major tourism draw that attracts nearly
30,000 visitors annually.

pre-school, literacy development and enrichment
intervention programs in the city of Ramla.
16 teens participated
in Gesher Hai (Hebrew for
living bridge), a month-long
trip to Israel, where they
were hosted by their peers.
“
There are a lot of needs in the
Jewish community, both locally
and worldwide. If my family
and I do not actively participate
— and try to help the Jewish
community — who else will? I
don’t believe it’s an obligation;
it’s something I want to do…feel
like I have to do…need to do.
”
– RICHARD B. COMITER
...DID YOU KNOW?
The Ethnic Tourism Jewish Soul Food program has enabled
women from the Tzahar Region to establish a registered,
successfully operational culinary cooperative that preserves their
ethnicity and traditions. The women traveled to the greater Palm
Beaches to participate in last year’s Yom Ha’Atzmaut celebrations
and provided programs throughout the community.
[]
FAST FACT... Our Israeli Shlichim (Emissaries)/Israel Educators brought a taste
of Israel to the greater Palm Beaches, educating on Israeli culture, collaborating with
multiple organizations, schools, synagogues, youth groups and more.
12 JEWISH FEDERATION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

Making
an impression
on young minds
Children in the greater Palm Beaches
are able to develop and explore their rich Jewish
heritage through a strong network of Jewish
preschool, day school and supplementary educational opportunities. Our commitment to
ongoing learning sparks and encourages the natural curiosity of children, building their
Jewish identity and connecting them to Jewish life. Additionally, opportunities to learn
are everywhere: bookstores, video stores, museums and the Internet. At summer camps,
in school clubs, youth movements, communal agencies and synagogues. As a community,
we support programs that make any time a teachable moment, and every moment an
opportunity for Jewish learning.
“
We develop our own little community in
the classroom so students feel connected
to something; they feel a sense of
belonging. Hopefully the foundation we
lay now means an involved future, where
they are a part of the Jewish community
and involved in Jewish life.
