As we continue our month of gratitude, this week we're celebrating our generous donors! 💙

Our donors are a vital part of our mission. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us meet urgent needs, from putting food on the table to helping neighbors remain safely in their homes. Your generosity allows us to reach more individuals and families throughout Broward County when they need us most.

To everyone who has supported our work, thank you for believing in what we do and caring for our community.

On November 9 and 10, 1938, Jewish families across Germany and Austria experienced unimaginable violence as their homes, synagogues and businesses were attacked and destroyed during Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass.

It wasn't just buildings that were destroyed. It was the lives, dreams and sense of security of countless Jewish families.

Today, 88 years later, we remember those whose lives were forever changed and honor their stories by continuing to stand against hatred and antisemitism.

Never forget. Never again. 🕯️

Meet Emma Bewes (Gottlieb), our Donor Relations & Data Specialist 👋

Here's a little bit about Emma in her own words:

"What I enjoy most about working at Goodman JFS is our incredible staff, the meaningful impact we make in the community and the important work we do every day. I love being part of a team that truly cares about making a difference and knowing that our efforts help change lives.

What sets Goodman JFS apart is the collaborative and supportive environment. We work together, support one another and communicate effectively to get things done. Teamwork is truly part of our everyday workflow, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and contributes to our shared success.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, doing arts and crafts and spending time outdoors with my two dogs. I have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever and a 5-year-old Yorkie who keep me busy and entertained! 🐾

💍 Fun fact: I just got married in October!"

Mazel tov Emma, we're so glad to have you on our team! 💙

Caring for someone you love can be rewarding, but it can also come with challenges that aren't always easy to navigate. 💙

This National Family Caregivers Month, we're reminding caregivers that they don't have to figure everything out on their own.

Our FREE monthly Family-to-Family Support Group, offered in partnership with Merlie's Giborim United at the David Posnack JCC and our Joshua's Path Disability Services, brings together caregivers of children and adults with disabilities to share experiences, exchange advice and connect with others who understand.

Looking to join us? Visit our event calendar for upcoming meeting dates and details.

This November, we're taking time to recognize the people who make our work possible. 💙

First up, our incredible volunteers!

Whether you're packing groceries, making deliveries, organizing clothing donations or shopping with a client, the time and care you give make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Our volunteers are truly at the heart of our work. We couldn't do what we do without the countless hours, energy and care you give. Because of you, we're able to reach more neighbors, meet more needs and be there for our community when it matters most.

To every volunteer who gives their time and heart to our mission, thank you. We're so grateful for you!

A senior veteran was facing homelessness. Thanks to some quick thinking and teamwork, he didn't have to spend the night without a safe place to stay. 💙

When an unexpected housing emergency arose and available assistance had been exhausted, our team worked with community partners to find another solution.

Even on his day off, Officer Ryan Lyttle (pictured) stepped in to help coordinate a temporary hotel stay for the veteran while the situation was being resolved.

This is the power of partnerships like the Multi-Agency Homeless Task Force. When resources are limited, strong relationships and a shared commitment to helping others can make all the difference.

Thank you to Officer Lyttle and everyone who came together to make sure this veteran has a safe place to sleep!

“The clients I have been able to help have truly inspired me to continue to support this important work.”

For Jodi and Doug Berman, supporting Goodman JFS has been a part of their lives for the past 10 years. Jodi's involvement began in 2017, when her oldest son had just started college and she was looking for a meaningful way to volunteer.

“I began by helping with the opening of the Dorit & Ben J. Genet Cupboard. I helped to organize the warehouse and shopped with the first customers. Then I began making deliveries and started doing more behind the scenes work.”

What started as a volunteer opportunity grew into years of leadership. Jodi helped organize food drives, chaired events like Feed the Need and eventually joined the Board of Directors, later serving as Board Chair.

But some of her most meaningful memories come from delivering groceries to Holocaust survivors.

“They enjoyed my visits and shared personal stories of their childhood and families. They expressed their deep gratitude for my service and for all the programs that Goodman JFS offers to improve their lives.”

Those personal connections, along with the people she's worked alongside, have kept Jodi committed to the mission.

“I have seen this organization grow and strengthen over the past 10 years, and it has served thousands of our neighbors in need with a caring and compassionate attitude that has made it very easy to say ‘yes’ to.”

Thank you, Jodi and Doug, for a decade of generosity and support and for the countless ways you've shared your time and leadership to help our neighbors in need. 💙

Giving back goes both ways! 💙

Our Dorit & Ben J. Genet Cupboard is usually on the receiving end of community donations, but this week, we had the opportunity to give back to some hardworking local students.

With long rehearsals stretching until 10 pm on weekdays and full days on weekends, the South Plantation High School drama students are putting in countless hours to prepare for their upcoming Shakespeare production.

Thanks to a connection made by our board member Amy Wildstein, our Cupboard team delivered 35 cases of water and 20 cases of sports drinks to help keep these young performers hydrated through the weeks ahead.

Break a leg! 🎭

Sometimes, something as simple as a pair of glasses can make a world of difference. 💙

When Thomas visited Hollywood Community Court, one of his most basic needs was a new pair of glasses. Our team was able to obtain his prescription and order him a pair.

Just two weeks later, he returned wearing his new glasses and a smile! Now, Thomas can see more clearly and has one less obstacle standing in his way.
