How your neighbors create Jewish community impact

A gift to CJP nourishes the entire Jewish ecosystem of Greater Boston. Your neighbors have made an impact. So can you.

“I love that CJP has its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the Jewish community and the greatest areas of need — and acts upon them ... CJP is the glue that holds everything together.”

Mara Goldstein

“What compelled us to make this gift is that we know that CJP can provide the tools, information, and knowledge to K-12 educators across the state to allow for more robust and complete discussions around Israel and the history of the Middle East. It is the right time for us to step up and be part of this work.”

Jesse Feldman

“With a full-time job and three kids, I’ve prioritized CJP because I enjoy building connections and learning with like-minded people. It feels good to be part of something.”
