LIVE GENEROUSLY...now more than ever!

According to Jewish tradition, one of the highest forms of tzedakah or charity is giving to a central campaign or community fund or kupah. Throughout Jewish history, in small towns and large cities, within both Israel and the Diaspora, it was the custom of Jewish communities to create an address for centralized giving. This guaranteed the privacy and dignity of the poor as well as the successful maintenance of communal "agencies."

 

Today, the kupah (literally translated as community fund) is the annual campaign of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater.
