We will shine a light on several organizations with whom we are proud to partner – raising awareness about current needs and important work being done in our community by agencies you may not be familiar with! You can give from your fund via the DJCF Portal, or click the links below to support.
Adat Chaverim – Adat Chaverim–a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase “community of friends”–is the first Reform congregation in Collin County, Texas, serving Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, and the other suburbs north and east of Dallas. Founded in early 1997, Adat Chaverim is a rapidly growing congregation, with a varied membership ranging from singles to young families to senior members of our community. They welcome interfaith couples and families. Our size provides an intimacy in worship and social activities that is unavailable in larger congregations, as well as immediate opportunities to become involved with the congregation and its leadership at all levels.

Congregation Beth Torah – Congregation Beth Torah was founded in 1974 as an egalitarian, participatory, inclusive Conservative synagogue. Over the last five decades, they have embraced and enhanced those values, welcoming everyone into the Beth Torah family regardless of age, ethnicity, experience, sexual orientation or gender identification. They see diversity and differences as bridges, not barriers, enriching our community and fostering understanding among people of varied backgrounds who come together on our common Jewish journey. That journey includes religious and spiritual inspiration, life-cycle needs, youth and adult education, devotion and connection to Israel, celebration in good times and comfort in bad times.

Jewish Children’s Regional Service – For 165 years, JCRS has served at-risk, dependent and financially challenged Jewish children and families from seven (7) Mid-South states: Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee by providing college scholarships, grants for Jewish summer camp experiences, special needs assistance, and other vital outreach programs that are pivotal in building one’s Jewish identity. Today, JCRS remains vital, impactful, and more necessary than ever. In 2018, over 1,700 children and families were served from more than 200 communities across our region. This year, we anticipate a larger than normal deficit in our budget due to increased requests for services. Give Here: JCRS
Tomchei Shabbos of Dallas – Founded in 2010, Tomchei Shabbos (“Supporters of Shabbat”) of Dallas’ goal is to lovingly and anonymously providing essential Shabbat food to needy Jewish families in our community. Our vetting process is conducted with the utmost discretion, care and privacy. Recipients are sent credits via email which can be used only for the purchase Kosher food. The food can be ordered online and picked up without anyone knowing that the food has been paid for with Tomchei Shabbos-provided credit. Every part of our process is structured in the spirit of Mattan Beseter, allowing both the donors and donees complete anonymity. Tomchei Shabbos is entirely supported by the compassion, generosity and financial support of the Dallas Jewish community. Give Here: Tomchei Shabbos of Dallas
