The Network is pleased to share that our President and CEO, Reuben Rotman, was featured in a recent Jewish Link article examining the significance and impact of year-end giving across the Jewish communal landscape.

As charitable organizations prepare for the close of the secular year, the article highlights trends shaping philanthropy and the essential role that Jewish human service agencies play in supporting individuals and families facing rising needs.

In the piece, Reuben emphasizes the growing demand for services across the sector, noting that agencies are seeing steadily increasing requests for mental health supports, employment counseling, emergency financial assistance, and home care for Holocaust survivors. He also underscores how agencies continue to center the needs of the Jewish community while navigating reduced government support and broader economic challenges.

The article additionally features perspectives from several Jewish organizations, including Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS), a Network member agency, which shared how year-end generosity bolsters critical programming throughout the year.

We are proud to see The Network’s leadership and the work of our member agencies highlighted in this timely discussion on philanthropy and community impact.
