Your Support Strengthens Us — As One

في تحالف الجالية اليهودية (JCA)، نحن أكثر من مجرد منظمة، فنحن تعبير حيّ نابض بالحياة عن الحياة اليهودية في جنوب ولاية مين. نجمع يوميًا أفرادًا من مختلف الأجيال والخلفيات ليتعلموا ويحتفلوا ويهتموا ببعضهم البعض. من خلال البرامج التعليمية والفعاليات الثقافية والخدمات الاجتماعية ولحظات التواصل المفعمة بالفرح والعمق، نرعى مجتمعًا يهوديًا نابضًا بالحياة وشاملًا ومفعمًا بالرحمة.


Your generosity makes this possible. Together, we:

  • توفير فرص تعليمية هادفة للمتعلمين من جميع الأعمار
  • تقديم الدعم للأسر والأفراد من خلال الرعاية والتواصل وموارد المجتمع.
  • احتفل بالتراث والقيم والتقاليد اليهودية
  • التعاون مع المنظمات في جميع أنحاء ولاية مين لبناء التفاهم وتعزيز الروابط المجتمعية

جمعية شجرة الحياة

With deep gratitude to Rachael and Justin Alfond for pioneering this giving society in 2020, the Tree of Life Society celebrates the generosity and vision of donors who double their Annual Campaign gift each year.


This community of givers embodies tikvah — hope — for the future. By stepping forward in this way, Tree of Life members ensure that Jewish life in Southern Maine continues to flourish for generations to come.



Each gift represents faith in our collective story: that when we give as one, we nurture growth, strength, and continuity in Jewish life across Maine.

Pomegrante Society

The Pomegranate Society honors women who make a personal commitment of $1,800–$4,999 annually to the JCA’s campaign. The pomegranate, one of the seven fruits named in the Torah, is said to contain 613 seeds — one for each mitzvah. It is a symbol of abundance, compassion, and a woman’s power to nourish the Jewish people through giving.


Members of the Pomegranate Society embody these values, uniting generosity with purpose. Their philanthropy strengthens Jewish life in Maine and around the world, building bridges of connection and care.



If you are interested in joining this inspiring circle of women, we warmly invite you to reach out and learn more.

Lion of Judah

The Lion of Judah is an international sisterhood of philanthropic Jewish women who give a minimum annual gift of $5,000 and lead with courage, compassion, and conviction.


Lions of Judah stand at the forefront of Jewish giving — shaping the future, strengthening our people, and inspiring others to act. Their leadership sustains the JCA’s work here in Maine while contributing to a global movement of Jewish women who believe in the power of tzedakah to heal, uplift, and transform.

Ways to Give

There are many ways to support the JCA and the community we build together.
You can make a one-time, monthly, or tribute gift online or by mail. You can also explore tax-wise giving options such as gifts of stock, IRA distributions, or contributions from donor-advised funds.


Some supporters choose to extend their impact beyond their lifetime by including the JCA in their will or naming the JCA as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance policy, or financial account — a beautiful way to leave a legacy of Jewish continuity and care.


If you’d like to learn more about these opportunities or talk with us about your philanthropic goals, our Development Office would be honored to connect with you.

  • هدايا تذكارية

    A Tribute Gift is a traditional Jewish way to mark important dates or milestones in honor or in memory of those we know and love. Just a few examples of when Tribute Gifts are especially popular: birthdays, anniversaries, religious and secular holidays alike, from Rosh Hashanah and Passover to Mother’s & Father’s Day. Many also choose to mark the passing of a respected community member or loved one through tribute gifts, or to honor someone on their Yahrzeit (the anniversary date of a death).
