For many in our Jewish community at home and around the world, Simchat Torah will forever be marred by the attacks that happened on that day last year, October 7. This year, the holiday begins on the evening of October 24. On a joyful holiday in which we typically sing, dance, and rejoice in celebration of receiving the Torah, we can’t help but think of the young people at the Nova Music Festival and all those whose lives were cut short at the hands of brutal terrorists. We pray for their loved ones and for the safe return home of the 101 remaining hostages. Am Yisrael Chai.

About us
A purposeful life, powered by our Jewish community. Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) unites the Greater Boston Jewish community around a common purpose: to ignite positive change at home, in Israel, and across the globe. As a philanthropic organization driven by our Jewish values, learning, and culture, we build partnerships, develop resources, and put innovative philanthropy into practice. Our work turns on the idea that together, we can do more; individual acts of kindness become collective action that strengthens Jewish life and makes our world a better place for all. Through the generosity of our donors and volunteers, we invest in programs that sustain Jewish life and learning, strengthen our community, and provide for people during times of need. By making strategic grants and thinking big with our partners, we empower hundreds of organizations and institutions to maximize their impact. And by doing it together, we help to build a purposeful, vital, and inclusive Jewish community. As a community united by shared purpose, we can deliver positive change that impacts us today and for generations to come. We believe that together, we can do more: for our community, for our culture, and for the world. Together, we are creating a bridge between our shared past and a vibrant future.
