Line 4a continued: Allocations to Beneficiary Agencies Justice for the poor, honoring our aged, attending to those who are ill or in crisis, nurturing and educating our children, welcoming strangers and helping emigres create new lives of freedom and economic self-sufficiency are central to our values and the programs we support. Equally important is our commitment to inspire Jewish learning and jewish experiences in order to share our community's strong Jewish identity. formal educational opportunities and informal jewish expereinces like summer camps, youth groups and trips to Israel provide learning, recreational, and cultural and social activities that nourish our bodies and our minds. lastly, we are an organization focused on connecting ourselves and our lives to other jews and Jewish communities. Our solidarity with one another is celebrated through our shared culture, identity, and commitment to one another. Line 4b Continued: Community Outeach Continued: Our outreach and engagement programs reach out to isolated seniors, families with young children, newcomers, interfaith families, and others to welcome them and invite them to be a part of our jewish family. Program Service Accomplishments - Program examples include: one happy camper offers incentive grants to families who choose to send their children to jewish overnight camp for the first time. senior services provides recereational, educational and social services in seniors' residences so that they may continue to live independently at home. The PJ library book club enhances the time-honored tradition of reading to children at bedtime by providing families with jewish books and guides for discussion. no matter how one defines "being Jewish" , the Jewish federation is there to support and enhance jewish life for everyone in greater washington.
