 From Jewish London

 

London’s Jewish community institutions are coming together through the Federation Security Fundraiser, a community wide campaign to raise $400,000 for the critical security needs of Jewish organizations across our community. This campaign will help protect the places where our community gathers, learns, celebrates, prays, connects, and supports one another.

Thanks to early leadership, we have already secured $100,000, including a $60,000 matching commitment. We are now inviting the full community to take part.  As part of the London Jewish security campaign, we invite you to participate in a special speaker series focused on security, advocacy, public life, media literacy, and the future of Jewish communal safety.

A household contribution includes you and one guest. Contributions are cumulative within the security campaign, so you do not need to make a separate contribution for each event. As your total household contribution reaches the levels below, the corresponding campaign events become available, subject to RSVP and capacity.
