With Scorecard data, central planning completed based on data collected by organizations and direct-service providers can better understand the Jewish Federation’s Jewish community needs and trends. Community Study A detailed look at the numbers reveals opportunities. For example: Are the numbers declining or rising? If so, why? By understanding the context of the data, leaders of community organizations can make better- informed strategic decisions. Further, the scorecard provides a resource for Jewish communal professionals as they improve their own performance-measurement tools. Scorecard personnel have collaborated with service providers in early- childhood programming, Jewish teen engagement, suburban outreach, adult Jewish education, day school education, and Israel connection. Where the scorecard casts a wide net, individual communal professionals cast deep nets, using the scorecard to help build focused data-collecting and data-reporting instruments. The results prompt future “deep dives” into priority areas, using Pittsburgh Jewish Community Scorecard data and expertise as a starting point. 34

Pittsburgh Jewish organizations who HOW IS THIS GOAL MET have begun to use community study data to inform decisions In February 2017, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh released the findings of The 2017 Pittsburgh Jewish Community Study, a comprehensive report that painted a detailed picture of the behaviors and attitudes of the Jewish community. The study informed organizations throughout the community and enabled decision-makers to make data-informed choices for their constituencies. As expected, the study also pointed to a number of impact areas that demanded the community’s attention. Therefore, the Jewish Federation has commissioned five follow-up studies that dive deeper into these impact areas. The first will attempt to answer questions such as: What can we do about the fact that only a minority of intermarried households raise their children as Jews? This study, currently under way at the Cohen Center of Modern Jewish Studies, will use qualitative research to better understand the motivations of families in which one parent is Jewish and the other is not. The second follow-up study, to be conducted in 2019–20, will seek to understand the factors influencing parents’ decisions about their elementary- and middle school-age children’s participation in Jewish activity. The third follow-up study, also to be conducted in 2019–20, will examine the barriers to Jewish life for people with disabilities. The fourth and fifth studies, respectively, will focus on families’ approaches to ritual Jewish life and barriers to Jewish life that affect people who require mental health services. 35

Good Deeds Day resulted from two ideas: that people the world over are capable of good deeds and that unified effort can result in personal and social benefits. Each participating organization — in this case, the Jewish Federation Volunteer Center — plans its own Good Deeds Day activities. In the past, Good Deeds Day in Pittsburgh involved five sites where volunteers worked on five different large-scale projects, each of which reflected a Jewish value. Four years ago, the Jewish Federation Volunteer Center began to create partnerships with city officials, neighborhood associations, religious institutions, and nonprofit organizations that enabled Good Deeds Day to expand the number of sites and operate citywide. In 2019, Good Deeds Day volunteers at 30 sites throughout Greater Pittsburgh did good deeds to benefit their neighbors. 42
