MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR & CEO For the second year in a row, a crisis faces our community and our Federation is responding. In 2018, our community faced the horror and aftermath of the worst anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. Today, we are confronted with a pandemic and all its implications. Helping people traumatized by the Oct. 27, 2018, attack and responding to people suffering from the pandemic: These are two great responsibilities that we have assumed while doing our day-to-day work of taking care of people in need, connecting people to Jewish life and helping Jewish agencies do their work. The totality of these efforts is motivating and powerful. In just the last year, the Jewish Federation started a new young adult engagement series and funded a new study of interfaith families’ needs. We expanded our Shinshinim Program, bringing Israeli high school graduates to Pittsburgh for a year of volunteer service. The Federation instituted communitywide initiatives, through our Jewish Community Security Program, that received national attention. We spun off 412x972, a business that facilitates profitable projects involving Israeli businesses and Pittsburgh companies. The Jewish Federation secured $3.7 million through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, providing 773 educational scholarships for Jewish day school and preschool students. The Jewish Community Foundation expanded the Harold Grinspoon Foundation LIFE & LEGACYTM program, which helps Jewish agencies and synagogues to solicit endowments, to include five new organizations. In just two years, the program has secured $26 million in expectancies for 19 local Jewish institutions. This year the Jewish Federation continued the unprecedented work of helping our city heal from the Oct. 27, 2018, attacks. The Federation, working with partners, helped to secure a $3.9 million grant for nine Pittsburgh-area organizations directly involved in Oct. 27 response, including the Dor Hadash, New Light, and Tree of Life * Or L’Simcha congregations. This grant, from the U.S. government’s Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program, ensures that our Jewish institutions will receive reimbursement for attack-related expenses and that the 10.27 Healing Partnership will have funding to help heal those still experiencing trauma. Then the new trauma arrived: The global pandemic brought new threats to Jewish life in Pittsburgh and to every Jewish community worldwide. Just as the power of unrestricted dollars from the Community Campaign enabled the Jewish Federation to respond immediately to the 2018 attack, the same flexible funding allowed us to respond nimbly to the unprecedented pandemic. The Jewish Federation’s Emergency Relief Subcommittee promptly redirected Campaign funds. The Federation secured additional funds from generous donors and foundations to meet the immediate needs of local agencies and international partners. As of June 30, we have secured more than $2 million for COVID-related relief and provided more than $1.2 million to help people suffering from the pandemic and its consequences. i

With all this happening, the Federation continued Campaign fundraising. With a record number of increases and at a historic pace, the 2020 Community Campaign raised $13.6 million. These funds will be the bedrock from which the Federation meets this year’s needs. In all, the Jewish Federation’s total resource development for 2019–20 — the total of cash and planned- giving commitments to the Federation and the Jewish Community Foundation — was $42.5 million. The Talmud commands each of us to remain engaged with the community’s pain: When the community is immersed in suffering, a person may not say: I will go to my home and I will eat and drink, and peace be upon you my soul. — Talmud, Ta’anit 11a Because of your engagement with the Jewish Federation, the Federation can continue to help the community heal from past and present trauma and to grasp new opportunities to create a thriving Jewish future. Thank you for helping the Federation do amazing things for our Jewish community. Photo: Joshua Franzos Photo: Joshua Franzos Meryl K. Ainsman Jeffrey H.

THE JEWISH FEDERATION’S RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC CRISIS INTERNAL RESPONSE As soon as the possibility of pandemic-related closures arose, the Jewish Federation assembled a coronavirus response team. Since then, the team has continually assessed pandemic-related issues as issues have evolved, to meet the needs of the Jewish Federation as an organization and to safeguard staff. With input from the response team, the Federation made the procedural and technological adaptations needed to allow most Jewish Federation personnel to work remotely beginning March 16. Operations will proceed remotely through September at least. EXTERNAL RESPONSE Assessment, Convening & Information Sharing In the first wave of assessment, in early spring, the Jewish Federation’s Community Building Team communicated with every Jewish organization in the community, regardless of whether an organization was Federation-funded, to understand the organizations’ needs and the needs of their constituencies. The Federation compiled information about available resources and shared that information. The Jewish Federation supported the leaders of local Jewish organizations by hosting several webinars to discuss coronavirus, especially in the early stages of the pandemic, when information was scarce. Presenters at these webinars included experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and employment-law attorneys, to help organizations navigate government assistance programs and uncharted employment challenges. In the second wave of assessment, the Federation sent a questionnaire to more than 60 Jewish organizations in Greater Pittsburgh. Survey results comprised data about facility closures, employee furloughs, financial losses, changes in service, and cash flow. Throughout the assessment of organizations, the Community Building Team was in touch on a near-daily basis with the Federation’s eight beneficiary agencies and two overseas partners — the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and the American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) — to discuss needs and solutions. In mid-May, the Federation, in partnership with Brandeis University’s Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies, sent a survey to community members. The survey, Building Resilient Jewish Communities: A Jewish Response to the Coronavirus Crisis, assessed the experiences of Jewish households to that point in the pandemic, with a focus on household members’ financial situation, physical and mental health, and connections to Jewish life and institutions. The goal of the study was to provide insight about the community overall and about particular groups within the community. Results are expected in August 2020 and will inform planning decisions. Help to Other Organizations: The PPP Application The Jewish Federation was in the first wave of organizations in Pittsburgh to apply for a loan through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), offered through the U.S. government CARES Act. The effort resulted in the approval of a $1,032,000 forgivable loan to the Federation. iii

The Federation — through the Community Relations Council and Finance Department, along with government relations professionals from The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) — served as a resource for Jewish and non–Jewish organizations that needed advice about the PPP application. The Federation’s finance professionals matched organizations with banks and loan officers to expedite the application process. JFNA offered webinars and digital resources about how to apply. All eight of the Federation’s beneficiary organizations received PPP loans. The loans allowed the organizations to retain staff through June 2020, pay significant portions of overhead expenses, and fund unforeseen expenses that would otherwise have depleted financial reserves. Lobbying The Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition, an initiative supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh’s Community Campaign, successfully lobbied the state legislature to extend the deadline and waive late-application penalties regarding contributions to the Educational Improvement Tax Credit and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit programs. Extended fundraising time decreased the financial impact of the pandemic on Pittsburgh’s Jewish day schools. Grants & Loans to Meet Local & Worldwide Needs The Jewish Federation made pandemic-related grants and loans according to the recommendations of the Emergency Relief Subcommittee. The committee included the Federation’s board chair, members of the Planning and Funding Committee, and incoming board chair. The committee continues to meet to allocate resources for immediate relief, prioritizing requests that: • Support seniors; vulnerable populations; and children, teens and their families • Address food insecurity • Provide career assistance and emergency financial support The Jewish Federation released the first set of grants and loans, to local agencies and overseas partners, March 31.

As of June 30, the Jewish Federation had distributed $1.2 million. The main sources of funding included: • Community Campaign dollars allocated for the 2019–20 fiscal year, the use of which was unrestricted • Jewish Federation’s Jewish Community Foundation grants reallocated from canceled programs (for example, organized Israel trips) and other Jewish Community Foundation funds • Supplemental gifts from donors Jewish Federation grants and loans were used, for example: • To purchase food and hire additional staff at the Squirrel Hill Community Food Pantry of Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS), to address substantially increased food insecurity • To provide personal protective equipment (PPE) and disposable tableware for the Jewish Association on Aging, among other agencies, to help staff and residents minimize the risk of spreading disease • To replenish the grant or loan funds of Jewish Assistance Fund, JFCS’ SOS Pittsburgh, and Hebrew Free Loan, which serve individuals. The funds allowed people to put food on their tables or cover expenses incurred because of job loss, illness or other pandemic ramifications. • To help day-school teachers learn to provide effective online teaching • To provide Yeshiva Schools with equipment enabling the preparation of free kosher breakfasts and lunches, twice weekly, to children up to age 18. More than 500 children are receiving meals through this program, the only one like it in the area. Overseas, Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh grants were distributed through the Jewish Federation’s overseas partners, the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), and the Israel Trauma Coalition. Grants supported, for example: • Emergency medicine, medical care and food for homebound seniors in the Former Soviet Union. The seniors’ reliance on support increased because of the pandemic. • Hygiene supplies and basic nutrition for Ethiopians, waiting in refugee camps, for immigration to Israel. • Food and medicine for homebound seniors in Israel. • Stipends for recently discharged Israeli soldiers unable to find employment because of the pandemic. • Support for social workers working with the most vulnerable members of Israeli society. Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh grants supplied emergency medicine, medical care and food to homebound seniors in the Former Soviet Union. v

2019 COMMEMORATION OF THE OCT. 27, 2018, ATTACK Just as the Oct. 27, 2018, attack on three Jewish congregations in Pittsburgh turned the world spotlight onto Pittsburgh’s Jewish community, the one-year anniversary of the date promised to bring similar attention. To honor the victims with dignity, to preserve privacy and prevent retraumatization, to use community resources effectively and to promote healing, the Jewish Federation played a significant role in planning and implementing the one-year commemoration. THE GROUNDWORK OF THE PLANNING COMMITTEE To plan the commemoration, the Federation collaborated with the Long-Term Resiliency Planning Committee. Key to planning was inclusion. The committee included victims’ family members and survivors and representatives of the three synagogues attacked: Congregation Dor Hadash, New Light Congregation and Tree of Life * Or L’Simcha Congregation. Jewish-agency professionals, staff from the 10.27 Healing Partnership resiliency center, government officials and other advisers were also committee members. Federation professionals led the commemoration-planning process. Surveys and meetings solicited input from victims’ families, survivors and the three congregations. Their input was a driving force. The committee determined the commemoration theme: Remember. Repair. Together. This charge urged participants to remember the lives lost, to repair the brokenness in our hearts and in our world, and to find solidarity with others. In developing commemoration content, the committee resolved to select activities that complemented traditional Jewish ways of honoring the deceased: Torah study, community service, and prayers and remembrance. As the committee continued to direct commemoration plans, the Federation played a role in telling the world about them. Ten local and national news outlets asked questions and secured footage at the Sept. 20, 2019, news conference about the one-year commemoration of the Oct. 27, 2018, anti-Semitic attack in Pittsburgh. x

THE PRESS CONFERENCE The Federation worked closely with the public relations representatives of the three synagogues and Jewish agencies to develop a comprehensive communications plan. The plan included a press conference — held Sept. 20 at the Jewish Federation office — to allow coordinated access to the principals. The Federation helped participants prepare for the conference, and the Federation briefed the press about Jewish practice. The Federation Marketing Team developed a dedicated website with information for the public as well as a password-protected area for the press to receive information. On the day of the conference, five panels of presenters spoke about the one-year commemoration. These panels comprised representatives of the three attacked congregations. Other speakers included family members of the three victims, people traumatized by the attacks and representatives of the four organizations that provided direct service to the Jewish community after the attacks: Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, Jewish Family and Community Services, and the Center for Victims. Rabbis or spiritual representatives of the three congregations offered perspectives. Immediately following the conference, the Federation provided eight areas in which the press could conduct interviews and take photos. COMMEMORATION-DAY ACTIVITIES Community service. Following private gatherings of victims’ families and of the three congregations, community service projects throughout Pittsburgh marked the Oct. 27 commemoration. More than 1,000 volunteers of all backgrounds participated. Some of the projects helped organizations that were important to the victims. Projects ranged from creating items for new immigrants, to baking and delivering thank-you treats for first responders, to sorting medical supplies, and much more.

As another way to mark the day with positive action, hundreds gathered on the afternoon of Oct. 27, 2019, for Torah study at Rodef Shalom Congregation, in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. Local and national rabbis and scholars, all with connections to one of the congregations attacked, led a xi

total of 10 sessions. The Torah study engaged the full spectrum of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community and attracted many attendees from outside the region. At the afternoon Torah study, Dr. Arnold Eisen, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, led the session “Homeless and At Home, Together.” Photo: Sanford Riemer. Prayers and recollection: The Community Gathering. The day concluded with the Community Gathering at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall, Oakland. A somber procession of nearly 100 student athletes from the University of Pittsburgh, lending support and bringing flowers, opened the gathering. The commemoration featured a candle lighting and video tribute to the victims, prayers from clergy of many backgrounds, and readings from public officials. Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of Tree of Life * Or L’Simcha Congregation recited El Maleh Rahamim, the Prayer for the Souls of the Deceased. Rabbi Jonathan Perlman of New Light Congregation recited Mi Sheberach, a prayer for healing. Rabbi Doris Dyen, member of Congregation Dor Hadash, recited Birkat Ha’Gomel, a prayer for those who have survived danger. At the Community Gathering, Family members of those murdered in the Oct. 27, Gov. Tom Wolf presented a spiritual reading. 2018, synagogue attack lighted memorial candles. Photo: Joshua Franzos.

In addition to the 2,500 who crowded into Soldiers & Sailors, several hundred watched the proceedings on video monitors in front of the building. FUTURE COMMEMORATIONS Each Oct. 27, Pittsburgh’s Jewish community will again mark the attack through remembrance, repair, and solidarity, guided by the input of those most closely impacted. The 10.27 Healing Partnership resiliency center — a collaboration of community, government and faith-based organizations dedicated to helping communities and individuals heal from trauma — will take the lead in planning future commemorations. xiii

The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh is the heart of Jewish Pittsburgh — the central fundraising, planning and community-building organization of the Jewish community. The Federation fulfills its many roles by bringing people together to solve problems. By listening to community members and leveraging the expertise of professional and volunteer leaders, the Federation helps agencies work together, anticipates need and charts a positive course. HOW THE FEDERATION WORKS: FINANCIAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT The Federation engages in a wide range of financial resource development efforts to help ensure a stream of funding to help keep the community strong and vibrant. No one could have predicted the sudden turmoil and ongoing financial, emotional and physical challenges that the coronavirus posed to individuals, families and the agencies that serve them. Nonetheless, because the Federation has existed for more than 100 years, resources and processes were immediately in place to help to meet needs, as this report will show. THE COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN Commitments to the Jewish Federation’s Community Campaign support many local Jewish organizations. Collectively, these organizations exist to serve every community member through every life stage and through life’s challenges. The Community Campaign also strengthens Jewish community in Pittsburgh, in Israel and around the world. To engage donors with the Community Campaign, the Federation presents programs for young adults and major donors, as well as through Women’s Philanthropy and Men’s Philanthropy. The Federation also presents programs for specialized groups, such as attorneys and health care professionals. Federation programs offer meaningful learning, leadership development and volunteer activities and give community members a chance to celebrate and to commemorate together. THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION The Jewish Community Foundation enables donors to fulfill their philanthropic dreams and leave a legacy that will impact our community in the decades to come. Resources made possible by endowments, trusts, bequests and philanthropic funds help address pressing needs, enrich our culture and strengthen our community now and into the future. This year the Foundation was a significant resource for immediate funding to community organizations whose needs skyrocketed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, as this report will detail. Donors to the Jewish Community Foundation work with Foundation professionals to choose a vehicle suited to donors’ circumstances. Such a vehicle could be a charitable gift annuity that provides payments during the donor’s lifetime; a life insurance policy; a permanent endowment; or a donor- 1

advised fund, which can be used as a family foundation with very low operating costs and significant tax advantages. The Foundation’s Centennial Fund for a Jewish Future (CFJF) provides immediate and ongoing financial resources for Jewish learning and engagement. CFJF funds formal and informal education, Israel travel for youth, Jewish summer camp, and other activities that connect youth to our rich heritage. By removing cost barriers to high-quality programming, CFJF makes Jewish experiences widely accessible. A Legacy Fund, created during a donor’s lifetime or through a will or trust, provides income in perpetuity to the Community Campaign. Because the gift is made in the donor’s name, a Legacy Fund helps ensure that the donor’s philanthropic tradition will continue. CORPORATE GIVING Many corporations and businesses provide essential event sponsorships so the Federation can maximize the use of donor dollars to address community needs. In addition, the Federation raises funds through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program and the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program. Participation in these programs results in need-based scholarships that allow children to attend Jewish day schools and pre- kindergarten programs in Pittsburgh and elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Furthermore, an individual donor may be eligible to participate in the EITC program by creating a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). The Federation can supply details. SUPPLEMENTAL GIVING Jewish Federation professionals work closely with Community Campaign donors who give more than $10,000 and wish to give above and beyond their increased Campaign commitments to make an impact in areas about which they feel especially passionate. This year, supplemental giving added to the resources that the Federation collected and distributed to meet unexpected needs relating to COVID-19. EMERGENCY CAMPAIGNS The Jewish Federation periodically provides opportunities to support others financially during emergencies. Following the worst anti-Semitic terrorist attack in U.S. history — the Oct. 27, 2018, attack in Pittsburgh — the Federation helped victims by collecting money, from around the world, for the Fund for the Victims of Terror. The total donated to the fund was $6.3 million, an amount that was distributed according to instructions from an independent committee of community leaders. After the attack, the Federation served as the central community response team, providing leadership locally and worldwide. In 2019–20, the Jewish Federation built on this emergency effort by leading the one-year commemoration of this attack. When nature causes suffering, locally or worldwide, the Federation serves as a trusted vehicle that community members can use to provide help. In 2019, for example, the Federation collected and transferred approximately $4,000 in aid in response to Hurricane Dorian. 2

Elsewhere this report has detailed the leadership and services that the Federation provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the distribution, by June 30, of $1.2 million in grants to Pittsburgh and overseas organizations The Federation stands ready to lead emergency response in future crises. HOW THE FEDERATION WORKS: PLANNING & FUND DISTRIBUTION The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, the largest Jewish grantmaking organization in Pittsburgh, helps people in Western Pennsylvania, in Israel and around the world. The Federation works with direct- service agencies to address current Jewish needs and to plan for the future. The Federation engages a broad cross-section of community members in the funding process, bringing a wealth of viewpoints and expertise to ensure that the programs and institutions that enrich Jewish community remain strong and vibrant, and to envision new ways to impact our community. Funding and planning efforts focus on three areas of need: • Aging and human needs. Federation efforts help the Federation’s partners provide services to seniors, individuals with disabilities, families in crisis and others who are vulnerable. • Jewish life and learning. Federation planning and funding result in a range of programming. Examples include support for the community’s three Jewish day schools, experiential learning for teens and immersive experiences at overnight Jewish camps. • Israel and world Jewry. Federation’s contacts provide quick emergency response — from food and health care to Jews in Europe and Israel, to evacuation and resettlement services for Jews in Ukraine — and long-term Jewish-identity initiatives, such as educational trips for youth and cultural exchanges with Israel and Poland. HOW THE FEDERATION WORKS: COMMUNITY BUILDING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS & PROGRAMS As a convener of Jewish agencies and other organizations that share in mission, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh forms synergistic partnerships to address communal needs. When Jewish Pittsburgh needs to speak with one voice, the Federation helps constituents synthesize and disseminate the message. This year — anticipating the need for a community response regarding the one-year commemoration of the Oct. 27, 2018, shootings — the Federation listened intently to stakeholders. Listening enabled the Federation to organize and present a press briefing with a consistent, accurate message and efficient media access. The result was positive, respectful worldwide coverage and the protection of individuals’ privacy. AgeWell Pittsburgh provides an example of the Jewish Federation’s role as a coordinator through funding. Through Federation funding to AgeWell Pittsburgh, three of the Federation’s beneficiary agencies that offer distinct services to Pittsburgh’s aging individuals and their families — Jewish Association on Aging, Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh (JCC), and Jewish Family and Community Services — can work together to help many seniors remain safe and healthy in their homes. The Jewish Federation provides professional expertise through efforts such as the Jewish Community Security initiative. The director of the initiative consults with more than 60 organizations to harden 3

building security, to train staff and community members how to respond in security emergencies, and to share threat information among institutions and with first responders. Working together and with the expertise of Jewish Community Security, all Jewish institutions can coordinate efforts to keep their community members safe. Among the tools that Pittsburgh’s Jewish organizations use in planning is the 2017 Greater Pittsburgh Jewish Community Study, funded by the Federation’s Jewish Community Foundation and conducted by the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University. The Community Study is a report based on more than 2,100 interviews involving Jewish residents of the Pittsburgh area. The study, the first since 2002, charted the current size and characteristics of the Jewish community, reporting on demographics, geographic distribution, institutional participation and need. More than 40 Jewish organizations have used the study to keep Jewish Pittsburgh’s programs on the path to relevance and responsiveness. This year, the Jewish Federation completed a follow-up qualitative study on the needs of interfaith families. Two additional follow-up studies are in the planning stages. The Jewish Federation also completed a study of Pittsburgh’s coronavirus-related needs. The study was in partnership with the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, which is conducting national research on needs relating to COVID-19. Various programs, initiatives and agencies, working under the Jewish Federation umbrella, offer community-building programs and services. Examples are: • Classrooms Without Borders (CWB) offers Jewish learning through travel and special events. CWB focuses on “educating the educators” about Israel, the Holocaust and Jewish history. CWB also sponsors speakers and cultural events for the community and the public. • The Community Relations Council (CRC) educates and advocates for the Jewish community locally, nationally and internationally. Programs have included missions to Washington, D.C.; Israel advocacy training; diversity education; and interfaith dialogues. The relationships that the CRC built with other faith leaders prior to the anti-Semitic attack of Oct. 27, 2018, enabled the Jewish Federation to bring organizations together quickly to support Jewish Pittsburgh. CRC’s Greater Pittsburgh Jewish Council convenes representatives from local Jewish organizations to examine issues significant to the Jewish community and Greater Pittsburgh. CRC’s Urban Affairs Foundation supports initiatives that strengthen the community and region. In 2019, CRC helped to create the 412 Black Jewish Collaborative, to foster dialogue between the Black and Jewish communities. (See more in the CRC section of this report.) CRC’s relationships allowed a prompt response, in partnership with Pittsburgh’s Asian community, to address anti-Asian discrimination in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. • The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh provides programs to commemorate and memorialize the Holocaust and its victims and to bring Holocaust education to new audiences. The staff of the Holocaust Center works with educators to create age-appropriate curricula and innovative ways of teaching tolerance. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh expanded activities online, offering a virtual Yom HaShoah commemoration. • The Jewish Federation Volunteer Center matches volunteers with community agencies and the organizations that need volunteers. The Volunteer Center fulfills its role on an ongoing, customized basis and through large-scale, multi-site events, such as Mitzvah Day and Good Deeds Day. Although in 2020 the need for social distancing prevented the Volunteer Center from presenting Pittsburgh’s Good Deeds Day, Volunteer Center staff pivoted, virtually, by providing suggestions about service and activities to mitigate the coronavirus quarantine. The 4

Volunteer Center also sent a survey of community needs to all community members and directed respondents in need to the appropriate agency. • Partnership2Gether strengthens the Pittsburgh Jewish community’s sister-city relationships with Karmiel and the Misgav region of Israel and with Warsaw, Poland. Partnership2Gether engages youth by bringing Israeli teens to Pittsburgh and sending counselors in training, from the JCC’s Emma Kaufmann Camp, to Israel. Partnership2Gether supports regional development that helps build and strengthen Karmiel and Misgav. The partnership between Pittsburgh and Warsaw, officially established in December 2018, will allow members of the Pittsburgh community to participate as Jews in Warsaw rediscover their Jewish faith and revive their culture. In all Partnership2Gether activities, the emphasis is on building personal connections. • The Jewish Community Security Program — through communications, awareness, training, partnerships and exercises — has helped to create a culture of security within Jewish Pittsburgh and Greater Pittsburgh. • 412x972 connects Israeli and Pittsburgh businesses, with the goal of creating sustainable economic bridges between our city and Israel. This socially responsible business, created with seed money from the Jewish Federation, seeks to achieve profitability as a separate entity from the Jewish Federation by offering scouting and business development services. These services will help Pittsburgh companies access Israeli technologies and open export markets in Israel. 412x972 services will also help Israeli companies develop initial sales and pilot sites in Pittsburgh. 5

THE COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN With a record number of commitment increases and at a historic pace, the 2019–20 Community Campaign raised $13.6 million. TOTAL CAMPAIGN ALLOCATIONS & DISTRIBUTIONS The $13.6 million that the Community Campaign received from individual donors enables the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh to raise additional resources from corporations, foundations and government. Foundation support includes a generous $900,000 grant from the Jewish Healthcare Foundation. The Federation allocates this grant funding to Jewish health care and human services agencies. The charts that follow show how the Federation distributed funds from total financial resource development ($42.5 million) and how the Federation allocated Community Campaign funds ($13.6 million). 9

CAMPAIGN-RELATED PROGRAMMING Pandemic-Related Campaign Modifications The onset of coronavirus and resulting quarantine meant changing donor-engagement methods. Programs designed as in-person events moved online, including the popular Lion Lunch & Learn Series. (Even virtually the “Lion lunches” drew 137 registrants to learn from Rabbi Danny Schiff, Bobbi Kann, Delilah Pickert, Diane Samuels and Danielle Kranjec.) In the weeks immediately following the pandemic declaration, the Federation held a briefing for major donors. The pandemic also necessitated close communication with fundraisers, who were dealing with unexpected circumstances. The Campaign team presented several online panel discussions and sent weekly video updates to inform fundraisers of current information and strategies.

This Is Us Campaign Kickoff Event This Is Us is the Federation’s marquee Community Campaign event. This year This Is Us tapped into Pittsburgh’s burgeoning foodie scene and everyone’s love of a hometown success story. The Federation’s most committed donors shared an evening with James Beard Award–winning Chef Michael Solomonov, who grew up in Pittsburgh, and one of Pittsburgh’s hottest chefs, Kevin Sousa. THE DONOR CENTER The Donor Center is an internal initiative to help ensure that every interaction a donor has with the Federation creates positive feelings about giving. This effort starts with fine-tuning internal processes and ensuring that Donor Center staff members are working efficiently and knowledgeably. The Donor Center works closely with Development, Finance, Marketing and Information Technology to help the Jewish Federation provide a top-notch donor experience. Photo: David Bachman. 10

HIGHLIGHTS OF PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES 412x972 The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, assisted by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, launched the 412x972 initiative to connect Pittsburgh and Israeli companies, with the goal of creating measurable economic benefits for all. 412x972 identifies specific opportunities through scouting and business development, leveraging synergies that result from combining the business ecosystems of both cultures. In addition to facilitating contacts between businesses, 412x972 helps businesses evaluate and deploy new technologies in ways that boost productivity, improve efficiency and enrich product value. The dialogues involved in these processes connect people and cultures, bringing Pittsburgh and Israel closer together. In 2019–20, 412x972 engaged and created ongoing relations with more than 70 Pittsburgh- and Israel-based businesses. As a result, 412x927: • Helped two pairs of tech companies to form joint ventures • Introduced more than 20 Israeli companies to potential Pittsburgh-based clients • Introduced five Pittsburgh-based companies to potential Israeli clients Some of the facilitated introductions are evolving toward pilot programs. Because 412x972 now generates its own revenue, the organization has officially separated from the Jewish Federation. 412x972 is now registered as a standalone business entity. As such, the organization created a board of directors and defined its business model. The Federation will continue to participate as an adviser. Gal Inbar served as a consultant during the launch of the 412x972 initiative. Now that that 412x972 is a standalone organization, Mr. Inbar serves as its executive director. 13

COMMUNITY SECURITY PROGRAM The goals of the Community Security Program are to address threats, continually assess the security of community facilities, provide training for organizations and community members, and facilitate law-enforcement activities. In January 2020, Shawn A. Brokos joined the Jewish Federation as director of Community Security. Shawn A. Brokos The October 2018 attacks on three synagogues and their congregants highlighted the need to upgrade security throughout Pittsburgh’s Jewish community. To that end, in 2019–20, the Jewish Federation — through the Community Security Program — continued to administer funds to enhance community security. This year the program administered $259,000 to provide Go-Bags, packs containing life-saving tools; panic buttons; access controls; and security cameras to more than 20 community organizations. Through the Community Security Program, volunteers assembled 500 Go-Bag containing life-saving tools. Each classroom in every Pittsburgh Jewish day school and Early Learning Center now contains a Go-Bag. In addition, in 2019–20, the Community Security Program: • Installed the BluePoint emergency alert system in the three Pittsburgh day schools and the 14 Early Learning Centers. In the event of an active-shooter situation or other security threat, the state-of-the-art BluePoint system would allow immediate notification of police and community contacts. • Trained more than 5,100 Jewish communal professionals and members of Jewish organizations, who attended 62 security training sessions. • Investigated more than 100 incidents reported through the Community Security Program’s See Something, Say Something initiative. Investigations involved the Jewish Federation security director and law enforcement. • Conducted security-related site visits at more than 25 locations. • Added 20 members to the Communal Security Group, which receives security-related emails and procedures updates. The group now includes more than 170 members. • Conducted training programs, for Jewish Federation staff and community, about situational awareness, active shooters, ALICE (alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate) response, hate-crime indicators, bomb-threat management, civil rights, and first aid. • Provided specialized training for teachers. 14

A blue box like the one shown at left now appears throughout Pittsburgh Jewish day schools and Early Learning Centers. In an emergency, the box — a component in the BluePoint emergency alert system — would allow immediate notification of police and others. 15

THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL The Community Relations Council (CRC) promotes harmonious relations and mutual understanding within and beyond the Jewish community and supports the State of Israel. In addition to working with government relations, the CRC is the Pittsburgh Jewish community’s liaison to other communities in Pittsburgh, with a focus on faith and minority communities. In 2019–20, the CRC: • Continued outreach to more than 30 legislators at the state, local and federal levels, to discuss security funding, hate crimes legislation and gun-violence prevention. Gov. Tom Wolf (center) joined CRC Director Josh Sayles (left) and Jewish Federation President and CEO Jeff Finkelstein after the governor signed House Bill 859, a $5 million funding bill to help nonprofit organizations pay for safety and security measures. • Supported, through local lobbying, various pieces of COVID-19 legislation to provide critical relief to the Jewish and broader communities. • Launched the 412 Black Jewish Collaborative, an initiative bringing together young Jewish professionals and young Black professionals. The mission of the collaborative is to catalyze and elevate Black and Jewish relations in Pittsburgh. Members of the 412 Black Jewish Collaborative gathered for an educational program about solidarity. • Participated in the interfaith Prayer & Protest Press Conference, organized by all five Hill District pastors. The purpose of the conference was to show solidarity with the Black community following the murder of George Floyd. 16

• Partnered with The Edward and Rose Berman Hillel Jewish University Center of Pittsburgh, to continue training Pittsburgh–Israel campus fellows. The training develops student leaders who will support a pro-Israel climate on Pittsburgh college campuses. • Convened the Greater Pittsburgh Jewish Council. The council — comprising representatives from diverse local Jewish organizations, agencies and synagogues — examines issues of importance to the local Jewish community and Greater Pittsburgh. In March, for example, the council convened to educate the community about COVID-19 resources and legislation. • Continued the partnership with Vibrant Pittsburgh, distributing $50,000 to diverse grassroots organizations that strengthen the region. • Continued, in partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, implementation of C-JEEP, Catholic- Jewish Education Enrichment Program, in local Catholic high schools. • Responded to anti-Semitic incidents in Greater Pittsburgh by completing behind-the-scenes work and supporting the targets of incidents. • Recruited a cohort of local Jewish and Black leaders to participate in a civil rights mission to the South (postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic crisis). 17

WOMEN’S PHILANTHROPY Jewish Federation Women’s Philanthropy, chaired by Jane Rollman and co-chaired by Kristen Keller, brings together an inclusive community of passionate, caring women of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles who share a commitment to supporting the Jewish community in Pittsburgh, in Israel and around the world. Through charitable donations and hands-on community service, Women’s Philanthropy engages women in the fulfilling work of making the world a better place. Engagement in Women’s Philanthropy fosters leadership among members, encouraging and helping women to take leading roles within the Jewish Federation and in other organizations and areas that are meaningful to them. Most important, Women’s Philanthropy builds and supports Jewish life today and for generations to come. The Impact of Women’s Philanthropy Each year, Women’s Philanthropy raises significant resources for programs and services supported by the Jewish Federation’s Community Campaign. But Women’s Philanthropy members do so much more. As a group, they are committed to remaining knowledgeable about the issues affecting the Jewish community, so they can serve as informed leaders among their peers. Women’s Philanthropy members advocate on behalf of underserved populations. They participate in meaningful mission trips and work as tireless advocates for the Jewish Federation’s philanthropic endeavors in Israel and overseas. But it doesn’t stop there. Women’s Philanthropy also participates in hands-on events to engage the community — packing “birthday bags” for underprivileged children or Passover kits to be distributed to those in need, for example. These activities make a difference in the lives of many; they also have a deep impact on the women participating in them. Women’s Philanthropy offers tremendous bonding opportunities — for mothers, daughters, sisters and new and lifelong friends — enriching the tapestry of commitment and caring within our community. More than 370 women participated in Women’s Philanthropy programming 2019–20. Annually, the Hannah Kamin Annual Lion of Judah Luncheon celebrates women’s commitment to the worldwide Jewish community. Event chairs of the 2019 luncheon were (left to right) Marilyn Swedarsky, Sandy Rosen and Ina Gumberg. Photo: David Bachman. The Lion of Judah Honor Society. The Lion of Judah Honor Society recognizes a woman who each year gives $5,000 or more, in her own name, to the Jewish Community Campaign. 18

In 2019–20 Women’s Philanthropy was proud to announce: • 19 new Lions of Judah (A Lion of Judah makes a commitment of $5,000 or more in her own name.) • 5 new Ruby Lions of Judah (A Ruby Lion makes a commitment of $10,000 or more in her own name.) • 1 new Sapphire Lion of Judah (A Sapphire Lion makes a commitment of $18,000 or more in her own name.) • 10 new Double Chai Lions of Judah (A Double Chai Lion makes a commitment of $36,000 in her own name.) Elaine Krasik became a Lion of Judah in 2019. Photo: David Bachman. In addition, in 2019–20 six women became new participants in the Lion of Judah Endowment program, creating permanent endowment funds that will continue supporting their Lion of Judah–level gifts in perpetuity. These endowments support the Jewish Community Foundation’s Legacy Fund Campaign, encouraging all donors to endow their gifts. The Lion of Judah recognition program began in Miami in 1972 and was introduced to the Pittsburgh community by Hannah Kamin. In her memory, Women’s Philanthropy of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh presents the Hannah Kamin Annual Lion of Judah Luncheon, to welcome new Lions. In 2019–20, event chairs were Melissa Rackoff, Dodie Roskies and Lori Plung. Unfortunately, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was canceled for the year. The Lion of Judah Lunch & Learn Series. In 2019–20, the Lion of Judah Lunch & Learn Series — chaired by Bobbi Kann, Delilah Picart and Diane Samuels — explored a theme: The Changing Faces of Judaism. Events in the series explored what being Jewish means in the 21st century. Rabbi Jeremy Markiz held a lively discussion called “Do Denominations Matter?” Danielle Kranjec’s event was “Jewish à la Carte,” and Rabbi Danny Schiff concluded the year with “Are Haredim From Mars While We Are From Venus – Is This the Lesson of Lockdown?” Knowledge & Nosh: Women’s Lunch Break to Educate. In its fifth year, this Women’s Philanthropy series (co-chaired by Kathy DiBiase) — presented in partnership with the National Council of Jewish Women (co- chaired by Dodie Roskies) and the Jewish Women’s Foundation (co-chaired by 19

Susie Gross) — presented some great events, including “What's ‘Happy’ Have to Do With It? Raising Resilient Kids in an Online World.” The event featured Deborah Gilboa, MD, (“Dr. G”). E3: Empowered, Educated, Engaged Jewish Women. Chaired by Leah Kamon, Sheri Letwin and Julie Silverman, E3 gathers women from around the city for various activities (both social and social action). Special events this year included an evening with Bill Strickland at Manchester Bidwell Corporation; a conversation with Marnie Fienberg (founder of Two for Seder); and a tour of the “Lest We Forget” photos, a Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh exhibit. E3 women in a social mode, learning mixology. E3 women learning about the social justice work of Manchester Bidwell Corporation, from founder Bill Strickland. 20

MEN’S PHILANTHROPY Men’s Philanthropy programs allow men to: • Socialize, network and consider important world issues • Take part in the Jewish past, present and future • Engage philanthropically at any life stage • Plan for their families and those yet to come In the 2020 Community Campaign year, 10 men joined the Shofar Society, an honorary giving society for men contributing at least $5,000 to the Jewish Federation’s Campaign. More than 600 men contributed at least $1,000 to the Community Campaign, making commitments at the Men's Philanthropy giving level. Men’s Philanthropy offered these two programs: • FBI Security Briefing With Robert Jones. More than 40 participants listened to an exclusive security briefing given by Robert Jones, the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In addition to hearing about federal efforts to ensure the safety of Greater Pittsburgh, participants heard from Jewish Federation and Jewish community leaders about the latest activities that the community is taking to safeguard people and institutions. • Conversations That Count: Israeli Business Culture and Jewish Ethics. Moderated by Jewish Community Foundation Scholar Rabbi Danny Schiff, this event featured a conversation with Gal Inbar, director of the 412x972 business innovation link. In addition to learning about 412x972, participants discussed current Israeli and American business events through the lens of Jewish ethics. In the 2020 Campaign year, the chair of Men’s Philanthropy was Randal Whitlatch. Steven Latterman served as co-chair. Members of Men’s Philanthropy meet periodically for discussion through a Jewish lens. 21

YOUNG ADULT DIVISION The Young Adult Division (YAD) offers opportunities for young adults ages 22–45 to engage with Jewish Pittsburgh through events, travel, and volunteer and leadership opportunities. From the Ben-Gurion Society Hockey Night to apple picking with the Explorin’ Pittsburgh Club, the Young Adult Division offers a full calendar of activities to engage and nurture the community’s young adults. In 2019, YAD added a new staff member, the director of young adult engagement and community collaboration, to create a four-person team. YAD Programming Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Quarantine When quarantine restrictions made in-person gatherings impossible, YAD staff and leaders re-evaluated the scheduled offerings by means of an online survey of participant needs and availability. Based on survey results, YAD transformed some gatherings into online events. Most regularly scheduled meetings took place virtually. March 16–June 30, YAD hosted 25 virtual events, bringing young adult community members together. The events included mixology classes led by a community member, fitness classes led by young adult trainers from the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, and Jewish learning classes based on religious texts. Events & Activities In 2019–20, YAD hosted 119 successful events attended by 2,336 unique individuals. The total attendance at all events, was 4,172. This level of participation represents an impressive 245% increase over 2018–19. YAD Clubs complemented this year’s regularly scheduled events. The clubs, a new addition, give volunteer leadership the chance to take the lead in planning activities, allowing participants to meet people with similar interests. Clubs include Bartending Club, Bar Trivia Club, Fitness Club and Game Night Shabbat Club. YAD Clubs seem to have played a significant role in increasing engagement in all YAD programs. For more information about YAD Clubs, visit jewishpgh.org/young-adults 22

Game Night Shabbat Club is one of the volunteer-led YAD clubs created in 2019–20. In addition to Shabbat dinners and Wine and Wisdom in the Sukkah, YAD presented The 9th Annual Apples & Honey Fall Festival, which drew nearly 1,600 participants to a day full of Rosh Hashanah–themed family activities. The Apples & Honey Fall Festival offers young families the opportunity to explore the themes of Rosh Hashanah. Photo: Joshua Franzos. Among the cohort-based YAD activities of 2019–20 were: • Jewish Baby University, a six-week program designed for first-time parents. The program combined childbirth education with an exploration of Jewish traditions and rituals connected with pregnancy, birth, parenting and raising a family. The cohort included five couples. • YAD’s Melton Adult Learning Course was Pittsburgh’s first Melton course specifically for young adults (ages 22–45). The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning, a project of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, supplies the curriculum for a two-year course taught by rabbis and Jewish educators in the area where the course is held. The Melton curriculum provides adults with a comprehensive understanding of Jewish thought, practice and history. The cohort comprised 16 participants. The second year of the course will begin in October 2020. YAD’s Young Adult Family Committee hosted many activities for parents or kids, including Ladies Night Out and, in collaboration with PJ Library, 2x2 at the Zoo and A Tu B'Shvat Birthday Party for the Trees. 23

Participants at Ladies Night Out learned the Japanese art of kokedama. Leadership & Philanthropy The Jewish Federation’s Young Adult Division continued to develop young leaders through programs focused on leadership and philanthropy: • The Wechsler Leadership Fellowship. This year, 25 young adults continued their 18-month Wechsler journey by exploring the Jewish community through a Federation lens. The fellows were chosen after an extensive application and interview process. Participants in the Wechsler Leadership Fellowship took a break from study to investigate the concept of an edible sukkah. • The SteelTree Fund. SteelTree Fund board members make: o A $500 commitment or a $500 commitment increase to the Federation’s Community Campaign o A collective impact on Pittsburgh’s Jewish community by allocating grant funding for proposal-based projects 24

In 2019–20, SteelTree: o Gained three new board members, for a total of 15. o Distributed $40,000 to various projects: $29,400 to innovative projects intended to enrich Jewish life for young adults and young families in Pittsburgh and $10,600 to meet immediate needs created by the pandemic crisis. • The Ben-Gurion Society. A giving society for young adults who make a commitment of at least $1,000 to the Community Campaign, in 2019–20 the Ben-Gurion Society hosted four programs for members. At the first Together at the Table Shabbat — in partnership with OneTable Pittsburgh, Repair the World and Moishe House — participants celebrated diversity and unity within Pittsburgh’s Jewish community. This gathering was one of six Shabbat dinners that the Young Adult Division hosted in 2019–20. 25

ISRAEL & OVERSEAS DEPARTMENT The Israel and Overseas Department of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh is committed to: • Ensuring that each Pittsburgh Jewish community member has a strong personal connection to Israel and, in turn, a strong sense of Jewish identity. • Ensuring that the Pittsburgh Jewish community has a shared sense of Jewish peoplehood, both locally and globally. • Addressing the social services needs of impoverished Jews around the world, including in Israel and the former Soviet Union (FSU). In 2019–20, in the context of the pandemic, addressing these needs was especially important. Emergency Funding for Pandemic-Related Needs Overseas The $1.2 million in grants that the Federation’s Emergency Relief Subcommittee made as of June 30 included essential support for Ethiopians awaiting immigration to Israel and those in need in Israel and the FSU. These funds provided: • Stipends to new immigrants to Israel • Food rescue, to harvest Israeli crops that would otherwise have been left unpicked due to the quarantine • Living stipends for recently discharged lone Israeli soldiers who could not find work because of the pandemic • Support for social workers treating vulnerable populations • Passover food to Israelis in nursing homes • Essential services, including food and medicine, to homebound elderly adults in Israel and the FSU With Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh support, the Jewish Agency for Israel distributed Passover food to elderly Israeli residents of Amigour nursing homes. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Joint Steering Committee of Partnership2Gether, a Jewish Federation program, redirected a portion of its unspent funds to coronavirus relief in Israel. Some of the nearly $40,000 in redirected funds supported childcare programs for children of medical professionals working in Israel’s hospitals. 26

Children attending Dror Israel’s childcare program, at Rambam hospital, Haifa. The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh supported the program, which served the children of medical professionals. Redirected Jewish Federation funds also supplied: • Wireless internet to the Karmiel Absorption Center, so new immigrants could participate in remote learning • Training for staff working with children with disabilities in Karmiel (many of the children regressed developmentally during quarantine) • Mentors and activities for at-risk teens on the streets in Karmiel, as quarantine eased • Meals for the elderly in Karmiel, quarantined in their homes Israel Scholarships Because of the pandemic many Israel programs were canceled in 2019–20. As a result, a portion of funds from the Israel Scholarship allocation were redirected to provide emergency relief in Pittsburgh. Some gap-year scholarship programs continued, so approximately 35 young people will be funded for programs starting in the late summer or early fall. About half that number will also receive need-based support through The Stanley and Flo Mae Moravitz Israel Scholarship Endowment Fund of the Jewish Federation’s Jewish Community Foundation. Israel Programs & Activities Shinshinim Program. In its second year, Pittsburgh’s Shinshinim Program doubled in size: Four 18-year-old Israeli emissaries, or shinshinim — all from Pittsburgh’s Partnership2Gether region of Karmiel/Misgav — came to Pittsburgh to engage the local community with Israel. 27

Tamar Nawy, one of this year’s shinshinit, led an Israel The shinshinim met with Allderdice High School students program for elementary school students at Shadyside through the Global Minds program. Academy. The shinshinim engaged and educated youth by volunteering in local Jewish schools and programs, including Community Day School; J-JEP; and The Second Floor, at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh. The shinshinim also engaged Jews and non–Jews at nonsectarian private schools and Allderdice High School. The shinshinim worked with more than 1,000 unique individuals. Although the shinshinim returned to Israel in mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they continued to engage children and adults through creative online programming related to Israel. They organized virtual ceremonies, for Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron, and an online event for young adults with Israeli social activist Daphni Leef. Partnership2Gether. The vision of Partnership2Gether is strong, vibrant and connected Jewish communities with Israel at their hearts. The mission of the Partnership2Gether program is to broaden Jewish identity through kesher (people-to-people relationships). The Partnership2Gether program in Pittsburgh does this by maintaining a three-way partnership with Karmiel/Misgav and Warsaw. Partnership2Gether, which is funded by the Federation’s Community Campaign, played a role in many of the Israel-focused activities mentioned in this report. Virtual meetings have helped to strengthen the bonds that link Pittsburgh, Karmiel/Misgav and Warsaw. 28

Partnership2Gether program highlights include: Summer 2019 delegations • Israeli campers. In July 2019, 18 Israeli campers from Karmiel/Misgav spent the second session at Emma Kaufmann Camp, after spending the weekend with host families in Pittsburgh. This year’s camper delegation included, for the first time, two Ethiopian Israeli students. The students were part of a program with the Ethiopian National Project, which the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh supports. Israeli campers from Karmiel/Misgav and some of the Staff in Training on the Partnership Day visit to Emma Kaufmann Camp. • U.S. camper visits to Karmiel/Misgav. In summer 2019, Diller Teen Fellows and Emma Kaufmann Camp Staff in Training visited Karmiel/Misgav as part of their Israel experience. Campers in the Diller Israel Summer Seminar participated in an event to celebrate 10 years of Diller Teen Fellows in Pittsburgh and Karmiel/Misgav. History Teachers International Collaboration. Partnership2Gether supported history teachers from Karmiel/Misgav who spent a week in Pittsburgh. Alongside teachers from many Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh- area schools, the Israeli teachers learned to teach about genocide and the Holocaust. Joint Steering Committee. In December 2019, the Partnership2Gether Joint Steering Committee met in Pittsburgh. Twelve lay leaders from Karmiel/Misgav and Warsaw concluded 18 months of strategic planning regarding Partnership2Gether’s new vision. The next phase includes engaging young adults and onboarding the Warsaw Jewish community into the Partnership. One-Year Commemoration of the Oct. 27, 2018, attack. Israeli leadership of Partnership2Gether gathered at the Yedid Nefesh Synagogue, in Karmiel, to remember the victims of the Oct. 27 attacks in Pittsburgh. Local government officials and community leaders attended, as did many from Karmiel/Misgav who had been to Pittsburgh over the years. In Warsaw, a commemorative ceremony was held at the Nosyk Synagogue. Diller Teen Fellows leadership development. Despite the cancellation of the Jewish Community Mifgash, when the Israeli Diller cohort visits Pittsburgh, and the Israel Summer Seminar, when the Pittsburgh cohort 29

goes to Israel, Diller Cohort 11 had a vibrant year of workshops, including online local and international programming. At the Diller Teen Fellows’ first shabbaton, fall 2019, were Pittsburgh Cohort 11, Diller alumni Guy Hoffman and the shinshinim. Waldman International Arts and Writing Competition. This year’s celebration of the Waldman competition winners was virtual, with Israeli winners presenting their work online to lay leaders, teachers and Pittsburgh winners. The Waldman family also participated. Students from seven schools throughout the Pittsburgh region received awards. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh facilitated meaningful discussion among online participants. Onward Israel. The pandemic crisis caused the cancellation of the flagship summer internship program. At the time of cancellation, 42 Pittsburgh students were to have participated. Onward Israel did offer some remote internships, however. Passport to Israel. The Passport to Israel program facilitates Israel experiences for teens and college students by enabling families to plan and to save for Israel travel — and to have the Jewish Community Foundation match their savings. This year 17 families opened new accounts. The Jewish Community Foundation disbursed $8,500 from the Sholom Comay Fund to support 23 students on peer-group Israel programs. Yom HaZikaron observance and Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration. Pittsburgh’s in-person gatherings were canceled because of the pandemic. Instead, many community members marked Yom HaZikaron by joining Masa’s online ceremony. Many celebrated Yom Ha’atzmaut virtually with The Jewish Federations of North America. Israel & Overseas Projects A Community Campaign allocation provides funds that are directed to Israel and overseas organizations. In 2019–20, the Jewish Federation helped fund, among others, the efforts in the list that follows. • Economic Empowerment for Women, a business incubator for Israeli Jewish and Israeli Arab businesswomen in the Galilee. 30

Jewish and Arab women met in Haifa, to learn how to market their small businesses. • ELI (Israel Association for Child Protection), an organization dedicated to decreasing the abuse of special-needs children and to treating the emotional consequences of abuse. • Ethiopian National Project, an organization providing Ethiopian Israeli students in grades 7–12 with scholastic assistance and emotional, social and nutritional support. • Kibbutz Eshbal, an educational kibbutz that offers a mechina, an army preparatory program, for at-risk youth. Most of the participants are Ethiopian Israelis. Throughout the year they learn leadership skills that improve their prospects for meaningful service in the Israel Defense Forces. This advanced military service enables them, in turn, to get better jobs and education after their service. • Hand in Hand Galilee Bilingual School, a multicultural school in which Jewish and Arab Israelis interact daily, on the basis of mutual respect, learning to appreciate each other’s culture, religion and history. • ERAN, which trains volunteers to provide telephone and online crisis services in Karmiel. The training enables the volunteers to provide mental health support to all ages and to Israeli soldiers, Holocaust survivors, and new immigrants. • Ayalim, which helps to bring promising young Israelis to live in the Negev and the Galilee. The program promotes social development and helps to develop areas in Israel’s periphery. Karmiel’s Ayalim Student Village houses 28 students who volunteer in several educational programs in elementary and high schools. • Jordan River Village, which enables Karmiel/Misgav students with disabilities to enjoy life-changing experiences at the Jordan River Village camp. • HaShomer HaChadash, a program that brings 10,000 volunteers to the Karmiel/Misgav area to work the land together. Volunteers cultivate Jewish identity and values while ensuring the sustainability of farms that suffer from agricultural terror and theft. • Krembo Wings, the only inclusive youth movement in Israel for children and youth with and without disabilities. Krembo Wings provides weekly activities for young people, increasing the self-confidence of the disabled children and fostering a sense of belonging for all the participants. 31

Krembo Wings, resuming activities following the end of the quarantine in Israel. • Tsofen High Technology Centers, which help to overcome economic and societal barriers by integrating Israeli Arab citizens into high-tech jobs. • L’Ofek, a program that helps Ethiopian Israeli students to overcome barriers to admission to nursing school at Hebrew University. • Israel Elwyn, an early-intervention program to enable children to use the innovative Wizzybug powered wheelchair. • Kishorit, a home for life for special-needs adults in the Western Galilee. The Jewish Federation funded an organic garden, allowing residents to develop employment skills and join the Work on Organic Farming initiative. • Yad Sarah, an organization that loans medical and rehabilitative equipment at no cost. Funding from the Jewish Federation helped establish Yad Sarah in the Karmiel area. • Yemin Orde, a youth village and boarding school that, by deepening connections to Judaism and Israel, helps immigrant and at-risk youth define their identities and integrate into Israeli society. • Leket Israel, Israel’s largest food bank. Leket is a leader and expert in food rescue throughout Israel. The organization sources, collects and redistributes quality fresh food from farms, hotels, military bases and catering halls. Without Leket, this food would go to landfills. Volunteers from Leket sort vegetables for distribution to needy Israelis. 32

• Beit Issie Shapiro, which helps women with complex learning disabilities to achieve financial literacy and independence. • United Hatzalah, Israel’s volunteer emergency medical response service. United Hatzalah deploys ambucycles throughout the country, including in Karmiel and Misgav, that are typically able to respond to the scene of a disaster within three minutes. • Sunrise Association, which provides critically needed programming, through Passover and summer camps, for Israeli children with cancer and their siblings. • Givat Haviva, a program that brings together Jewish and Arab students from Misgav for meaningful encounters. • Yigal Alon Center, which runs pre-army academics for Jews, Arab Christians and Bedouins, providing them with a unique opportunity to get to know one another and their respective cultures in a meaningful way, breaking down barriers and negative perceptions. • Israel Venture Network, which provides mentorship for the Misgav–based business E-Community, which employs adults with special needs to recycle electronic waste. • Selah, the Jewish Agency’s flagship residential program based in the Karmiel Absorption Center. The center helps immigrants from the FSU who are ages 17–20. Most live in Israel without the support of family or friends. Selah provides the new immigrants with support services, ulpan (intensive Hebrew- language classes), mathematics courses, SAT preparatory programs, cultural activities, and courses to prepare them for university studies and service in the Israel Defense Forces. • Orr Shalom, which provides emergency fostering for children under age 5 who have been removed from their homes because of neglect or abuse. Children in an Orr Shalom foster home at a Passover seder. In 2019–20, the Jewish Federation also helped to fund the overseas efforts, outside Israel, of these organizations: • American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), providing elderly Jews in need in Moldova with food, medical care and winter relief. This aid became critically important during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting quarantine. • Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), revitalizing Jewish life in Moldova by helping Jewish youth develop leadership skills and a sense of Jewish peoplehood. Programs include JAFI’s Jewish summer camp and an informal after-school program. • World ORT, developing and sustaining Jewish life in Moldova by investment in teachers and students at the ORT Herzl Technology Lyceum school, in Kishinev. 33

JEWISH LIFE & LEARNING Through the Jewish Life & Learning (JL&L) Department, the Jewish Federation creates and enhances Jewish learning and experiences across the spectrum of the community. This means: • Ensuring abundant, diverse and high-quality Jewish learning opportunities for all ages • Supporting the professional development of Jewish educators • Engaging minimally connected Jews of all ages Response to the Pandemic In addition to impacting individuals and the agencies that serve them, the COVID-19 pandemic shook the infrastructure of Jewish life and learning. The economic fallout of the crisis, including revenue loss and the steep costs of adopting new health and safety measures, has impaired community institutions: synagogues, religious schools, day schools, early childhood centers, community centers, camps, and Pittsburgh’s campus outreach center. To support these core providers of Jewish education and engagement, the JL&L Department shifted focus to identify needs, share best practices and address challenges. JL&L staff: • Met regularly with day-school heads to tackle issues, identify funding sources and plan for reopening. • Met regularly with early childhood center directors and part-time school directors to collaborate on planning related to COVID-19. • Collaborated with the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington to create and subsidize a webinar for parents of young children, “Parenting During Uncertainty and Social Distancing.” • Subsidized online professional development for educators. Resources included e-Limmud, to support Jewish educational engagement; guidance for leaders during the pandemic; information about pandemic-related emotional issues in young children; and best practices for remote instruction. • Developed a professional-development plan to help early childhood and part-time school educators pivot between online and in-person learning, maximizing the effectiveness of remote learning and engagement. • Convened clergy to share ideas about the transition to online worship. • Assisted agencies in applying for emergency funding. • Convened synagogue leadership to discuss considerations and processes for reopening. 2019–20 Program Highlights Jewish Early Childhood Education. The goal of the JL&L Department is to broaden excellence in Jewish early childhood education in Greater Pittsburgh, by working in partnership with the community’s 11 Jewish early childhood education centers. The department: • Convened early childhood education directors to collaborate, share resources and plan together. • Provided professional development by creating and coordinating two study groups. More than 40 local educators improved their pedagogy together. • Collaborated, after the onset of pandemic, with The Paradigm Project. A national Jewish early childhood initiative, The Paradigm Project offers professional development for local and national educators. • Partnered with national organizations and Jewish early childhood leaders from Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Cleveland, Dallas and Washington, D.C., to offer a three-month webinar series to help teams consider and exert leadership in the uncertain environment of the pandemic. 34
