The attack against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023 only deepens our connection to Israel.
When the time is right and youth groups will be able to resume travel in safer times,
you can have your child experience the wonders of Israel thanks to our Gift of Israel matching program.

Maximize your return! Enroll as early as Kindergarten!
(payment is $300 plus an enrollment fee).

 

This no-risk matching fund allows you to double your contribution with a match from the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and your synagogue. All you have to do is...

 

  1. Sign up (between grades K – 6)
  2. Make a yearly payment
  3. Request the money

The matching funds start as soon as you sign up your child- the earlier you sign up the more matching dollars you receive. Gift of Israel funds are intended to cover a portion of the cost of an Israel program. Prices of Israel programs vary and the amount of Gift of Israel funds available may not cover the entire cost. Payment goes directly to the program organizer.

The Jewish Federation's match is provided through contributions to JFund.
