A Joint Statement from the Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton and Jewish Family Service
May 6, 2020
Dear Friends,
The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton and Jewish Family Service want you to know we continue to extend our hand to everyone in the Binghamton Jewish community. Nobody knows how long we will need to isolate from one another or when we will return to any routine that is familiar.
If you or someone you know is struggling financially or emotionally during this unprecedented time, please reach out. We have resources and want to assist you. You are the reason for the work we do. Our mission is for everyone to come out of this crisis healthy, connected and whole.
Our local Jewish organizations are offering opportunities for learning and praying together. Although our community calendar has changed, you can find out more about virtual offerings by going to our Community Guide and contacting organizations directly, or look in upcoming issues of The Reporter.
Every day, we practice the Jewish value that says “kol Israel aravim zeh ba zeh”: All Jews are responsible for one another. This is true now, as it has always been and always will be.
Wishing you good health, safety and lots of love.
Shelley Hubal, Jewish Federation Executive Director
Suzanne Holwitt, Jewish Federation President
Rose Shea, Jewish Family Service Director
Rita Bleier, Chair- Jewish Family Service Committee
Office phone: 607-724-2332
