The Ongoing Renewal of the Jewish People
We are participating in the renaissance of the Jewish people, and expanding the Jewish role in the 21st Century. The Leifer Family Fund works to support Jewish identity formation, to strengthen the bonds between Israel and the United States, and to create a new class of leaders and professionals in Jewish organizations.
Here are a few of the organizations we support:
TAMID
Since partnering with the Leifer Family Fund, Tamid has expanded from business to the sciences, technology, and healthcare. More than 3,500 students have joined Tamid to work directly with Israeli companies.
Join For Justice
Change happens when people organize to make it happen. Using organizing as an approach, JOIN For Justice helps people build the skills to identify issues important to them and to their communities, identify common goals, and make change happen.
MOISHE HOUSE
Moishe House now operates in seven homes around Boston, giving thousands of young Jews a place to come together in a relaxed space, and find their way as adults in the Jewish world.
