Gift of Israel Savings Program Provides an Opportunity to Experience Israel

Federation partners with local synagogues to fund the Gift of Israel Savings program to ensure that every young adult has the opportunity to experience Israel. Once a child is enrolled, participating synagogues and Federation will make matching $100 annual contributions to his/her account. 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. You do not need to be a member of a synagogue to enroll. For more information, click here.
