Chag Pesach Sameach 

During Passover we are reminded that, as Jews, it is our responsibility—and at the very heart of our values—to deliver the gift of hope to other Jews locally, in Israel, and around the world. 

If G-d did not take us out of Egypt, then we, our children, and our children’s children would still be slaves to Pharaoh. We remember that generation after generation has survived threats to destroy the Jewish people.  

The responsibility now rests on us. We must act. 

Federation acts. We do so every year. 

In Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, we provide financial, emotional, physical, and educational assistance to many in need. A senior citizen gets help with daily tasks or finding long-term care. An adult gets confidential counseling and assistance until they get back on their feet again. Women with financial needs receive sanitary products. A young adult participates in leadership programs that benefit each of our beneficiary agencies. A child receives PJ Library books every month to share with the entire family. And the Jewish community is educated and enriched. 

Jewish Federation of Delaware is there to help when needed, promoting lasting connections and ensuring a strong and vibrant Jewish future. 

During Passover, let us remember that we are all responsible for our fellow Jews. All of us desire for Israel to dwell securely in her borders. All of us want Judaism to continue to thrive and flourish, and to support and protect Jews worldwide—including through our time-sensitive help of the Jewish community in Ukraine. All of us hope and pray for the welfare of our parents, spouse, family, and friends. 

We have the power and the responsibility to make the lives of our fellow Jews in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, Israel, Ukraine, and the world better and let them know they are not alone. Our collective devotion makes our people strong. 

In difficult times, people turn to the Federation. Now we are turning to you to make your gift to the 2025 Annual Campaign if you have not already done so. The good your gift provides is immediate and has a lasting impact on the lives of so many.  

We Grow Stronger TOGETHER As One.
