Jewish population study to help in long-term planning

The 2010 edition of the Chicago-area Jewish Population Study has begun. The studies, conducted every 10 years, provide both a snapshot and a roadmap for the Jewish community, telling us who we are, where we are, and where we’re headed.

A private research firm conducts the study by calling thousands of households throughout the Chicago area. Calls have begun and will continue for several months. All responses are completely confidential, and no personally identifiable details are linked to the answers. The stronger the response, the more reliable the information. So if you are called, please take the few minutes needed to participate. And spread the word so your friends, neighbors and colleagues know about this important study. Contact the Community Survey Hotline at (312) 357-4545 or get more information by e-mailing PopulationStudy@juf.org or on the web www.juf.org/population.

In response to the massive earthquake in Haiti, AJWS has created the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund to support its network of grantees as they address the urgent needs of the affected population.

With a per capita income of $3.60 per day, Haiti is the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere. Thus, its population is especially vulnerable to natural disasters, such as Tuesday’s earthquake.  

Other Israeli organizations that are offering Aid include: The Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid, and Magen David Adom in Israel.


NEW! Derech Eretz Leadership Development Program

Oak Park Temple B'nai Abraham Zion is one of the oldest Reform congregations in the Chicago area, dating back to the 1919 merger of the Zion Congregation (founded in 1864) and the B'nai Abraham Congregation (founded 1871). Originally known as Washington Boulevard Temple and located on Chicago's West Side, the congregation dedicated its current home at 1235 North Harlem Avenue in 1957 and has since been known as Oak Park Temple B'nai Abraham Zion.
