VISION STATEMENT FOR
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF BROWARD COUNTY
We, the members of the Broward Jewish community, are committed to a vision for the Jewish community of Broward County in which agencies, synagogues, and organizations work in partnership so that:

We increase county-wide measurable participation in Jewish life with the goal of having the maximum number of Broward Jews involved in all expressions of Jewish life, and we nurture Jewish values from generation to generation. We will accomplish this by building partnerships to create multiple strategies and programs that enable:

Children & Teen Jewish Identity
Every Broward Jewish child and teen to participate in meaningful Jewish experiences that will create strong Jewish identities that will last throughout their lifetimes.
For example: We create a “Birthright” scholarship program to enable every Broward Jewish youth to attend a Jewish summer sleep-away camp run by a non-profit national movement and/or a Jewish day camp run by a local beneficiary agency or synagogue >>> more

Jewish Living & Learning
Broward Jews of every age actively participate in Jewish living and learning.
For example: We create a Central Scholarship Bureau to remove financial barriers for Broward Jews to join/participate in any opportunities for Jewish living and learning offered by agencies, synagogues, or organizations in Broward County >>>more

Senior Care
We ensure that every Broward Jew lives out his or her life in dignity.
For example: We create a Commission on Jewish Senior Care, guided by Jewish values, to coordinate the delivery of needed senior services >>>more

Developmental Disabilities
We broaden the opportunities for any Broward Jewish child or adult with developmental disabilities to live and learn in a Jewish environment.
 For example: We create a Jewish Commission on Developmental Disabilities to assess the scope of needs within Broward County, identify existing gaps in service delivery, and seek funding to fill those service delivery gaps >>>more

Israel
We grow Broward’s participation in Israel’s future and especially in rebuilding and revitalizing all of Israel.
For example: We provide financial support for Israel’s rebuilding and revitalization, and we provide subsidies for Broward Jewish adults and families to travel to Israel on trips sponsored by Jewish organizations with a local presence in Broward County >>>more

Security
We advocate for Jewish security in Broward County and throughout the world.
For example: Working collaboratively and cooperatively with local and national organizations, we lobby our elected officials and appointed governmental representatives to increase security for Jews and Jewish institutions locally and world-wide. >>>more
