Community members can receive funding to support immediate, concrete needs including: emergency home or car repairs, medical expenses, funeral costs, camp tuition, participation in a gap-year or short-term Jewish or Israel education program, or attending a vocational or technical program to advance their career. To participate in the program, applicants will need to provide financial information, secure a guarantor, submit a statement of need, and commit to a repayment schedule. The length of repayment will be determined by the loan amount, with the assumption that most loans will be repaid within 36 months. This initiative has been funded by the United Jewish Federation of Greater Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien. For more information about the program, please contact Jonathan Fass, COO of Schoke JFS at 203-921-4161 or jfass@ctjfs.org. | | Mitzvah Mondays started in February and it was a success! | | | | The first Mitzvah Monday was a success!
