Message From Our Executive Director

As the year draws to a close, make a donation to help JHP continue to provide opportunities for Jewish students to make a connection to their glorious heritage.

"When someone asks me about my Jewish Identity, and how it has changed (since I have become involved in Jewish Heritage Programs), I turn to them and simply answer, 'Now it exists.'"  - Bill Gewanter, University of Delaware

For many of the JHP students, at a critical time while on campus when they are making personal life decisions that continue through their adult life, we are their primary connection to Judaism.
200,000 students have been touched by JHP with the warmth of Judaism for the long term and have incorporated Jewish ideas and practices into their lives. JHP reaches out to many students on campus in ways unlike any other campus organization.

JHP helps the students to better make these life decisions and connections to their Jewish heritage and Israel. They experience Shabbos on their own terms and travel with us during the summer to Israel. Support to Israel is very important to us and crucially important for the continuation and future of the Jewish community at large. JHP has made tremendous contributions in this regard.

"Israel was a life changing experience for me that I can't stop thinking about.'"- Abby Weese - JHP Israel trip.

WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW

Even though JHP has many significant donors, we still struggle every year to meet our budget. Our expenses increase proportionately as more and more students participate in our Shabbos dinners, programs and celebrations. Every contribution goes directly to help the students and fund our programming. 

By offering students the opportunity to make that connection to their glorious heritage, Jewish Heritage Programs positively contributes to the continuity of the Jewish community at large and Israel.

Your help is vital to our continued success and growth. We cannot stress enough how important and necessary your support is and we urge you to make a donation now. Please give generously.
