Shalom Austin
With Jewish values at the center of all that we do, Shalom Austin is here to help families and individuals of all backgrounds thrive. Our work is only possible through the generosity of supporters like you through gifts to the Annual Campaign, Generations Campaign, and Jewish Foundation.
CREATING A VIBRANT JEWISH LIFE
YOU ARE
Connecting the Community
“When I moved to Austin, I was looking to meet friends through the Jewish community. The Young Adult Division really helped me achieve my goals – I’ve referred six people to work, I’ve been on three committees, I have two bridesmaids I met through YAD, I have one mentor I met through J-Lead, and one husband I met through YAD! I’d say that’s a success.”
Carly Sansom, YAD Participant

Providing for People in Need
“I don’t live close to the JCC or the shul, I’m not able to participate in the community as much as I would like. Jewish Family Service has taken great care of me and they are there when I need help. I am so pleased they have started a food
pantry. I always need kosher food, and I have a hard time getting it. JFS brought me matzah ball mix, gefilte fish, and even a fresh challah on Shabbat.”

Supporting Israel and Overseas
“I was raised as a typical child in the Soviet Union, and I didn’t know I was Jewish. I’ve been helped by JDC to reconnect with my Jewish roots and my Jewish family. After I had a daughter of my own, we participated in the Family Retreat program, which introduces Jewish tradition and culture to families like me who didn’t have the experience as children ourselves. Our Jewish roots are now continuing on to the next generation.”

“It gives me great joy to give, and unfortunately having Parkinson’s disease makes it difficult to write checks. Now, I can just ask Marianne to make a donation of $X, to organization Y, for purpose Z! It’s easier for all of us, and it’s easier to balance our checkbook!”
