Modern scholars have yet to write the definitive history of Jews in Brooklyn, but when they do, Congregation Beth Elohim (CBE), a Reform synagogue located in Park Slope, will figure prominently. The history of CBE typifies much of the American Jewish experience while further illuminating the broader narrative of the American immigrant experience and process of Americanization. Touching upon religious and cultural history, the CBE story is also woven into the history of Brooklyn and New York.
Unparalleled in the Jewish philanthropic world, Jewish National Fund-USA’s strategic vision has been and always will be, to ensure a strong, secure, and prosperous future for the land and people of Israel. Everything we do — every project, initiative, and campaign we take on – is integral to our vision of building and connecting to our land.
We plant trees, build houses and parks, source water solutions, buy fire trucks, and improve the lives of people with special needs. We boost tourism, support Aliyah, promote Zionist education and engagement, build medical centers and trauma centers, fund agricultural and culinary research, and run an American semester abroad high school in Israel. We do all these things because each project, each program, each partnership, is consistent with our strategic vision– population growth in the north and south, connecting the next generation to Israel, infrastructure development, ecology, forestation, heritage preservation, and more — all for the land and people of Israel.
