Dallas Federation Marks Century of Service

By JTA October 27, 2011

The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas will mark its 100th anniversary with a citywide day of community service.

The Got Mitzvah? Day will involve some 3,000 local residents who are set to collectively volunteer on Oct. 30 at more than 70 area community locations, including shelters, hospitals, schools and non-profit organizations.

“There is no better way to represent the noble work of our hundred-year history in Dallas than to bring so many people together to help others,” said Susan Kramer, the federation’s president and chief executive officer.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $325,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
