Gift of Israel Savings Program Helps Young Adults Experience Israel

In an effort to ensure every young adult has the opportunity to experience Israel, Federation partners with local synagogues to fund the Gift of Israel Savings program. Once your child is enrolled, participating synagogues and Federation will make matching $100 annual contributions to his/her account. You do not need to be a member of a synagogue to enroll. By depositing $100 a year from 1st to 10th grade, a child ultimately accrues $2,000-$3,000 (plus interest) to help finance a variety of approved Israel peer programs.
