(JCSI), a local organization 
tasked with protecting the 
Jewish community. 

SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL 
& JEWS AROUND THE 
WORLD 
Our community’s enduring 
connection with Israel remains 
central to our identity, and 
our support has never been 
more important than after 
the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in 
Israel. Beyond this, Federation’s 
support extends to the many 
vulnerable individuals in our 
global Jewish community, 
including tens of thousands 
in Ukraine, Russia and other 
former Soviet countries. 
Federation also works to 
strengthen ties between 
Israelis and Jews in diaspora 
communities through 
efforts such as Detroit’s 
Partnership2Gether program 
with the Central Galilee.

THE ISRAEL EMERGENCY 
CAMPAIGN 
The success of the 2024 
Annual Campaign comes 
during a year of historic 
challenges for the Jewish 
people following Oct. 7, and 
especially for the citizens 
of Israel. In addition to 
our Annual Campaign, 
Federation also launched 
an Israel Emergency 
Campaign to provide critical 
humanitarian aid to Israel, 
including direct 
support to 
victims of terror.
“We’ve 
received 
thousands of 
donations to 
support that 
important 
effort, beyond those for 

the Annual Campaign,” 
notes Steve Ingber, 
Federation CEO. “The 
outpouring of generosity is 
truly extraordinary and a 
reflection of Jewish Detroit’s 
historic bond with the state 
of Israel.”

A HEARTFELT 
THANK YOU 
The success of the 2024 
Annual Campaign sets 
a strong foundation for 
the future. The Jewish 
Federation of Detroit 
remains committed to 
fostering a vibrant, inclusive 
and resilient community. 
The record-breaking funds 
will not only support 
ongoing programs but also 
enable new initiatives that 
address emerging needs and 
opportunities.
“The Jewish 
Federation of 
Detroit extends 
its deepest 
appreciation 
to every donor 
and volunteer 
who contributed 
to the success of the 2024 
Annual Campaign,” says 
Federation President Gary 
Torgow. 
“This record-breaking 
campaign demonstrates the 
power of community and 
the difference we can make 
when we come together with 
a shared purpose. As we 
celebrate this achievement, 
we look forward to the 
continued growth and 
prosperity of the Detroit 
Jewish community, and to a 
time of peace in Israel and 
throughout the world.”
