JPhilanthropy...
a new generation of Jewish giving
At JPhilanthopy.com, our goal
is to support and inspire Jewish teens in their efforts to engage in acts
of tzedakah by providing education, resources and networking opportunities
to individuals, groups, and lay and professional leaders. JPhilanthopy.com
will help get you connected to other Jewish teens who are involved in
this important work. Share successes – relate stories – ask
questions – and delve deeper into the issues you care about.
Giving isn't about age... it's about action!
