25/25 Campaign - Building the Future of the Jewish Community
25/25 Campaign: Building the Future of the Jewish Community
The 25/25 Campaign honors Rabbi Jill Maderer’s 25 years of leadership by inviting our community to invest—together—in the future of Jewish life. Jewish life flourishes when it is welcoming, accessible, and rooted in relationship. The 25/25 Campaign reflects this belief by offering an inclusive entry point to giving while also inspiring transformational investment in our shared future.
Funds raised will establish the Future of the Jewish People Fund, an endowment dedicated to expanding outreach and engagement beyond traditional membership models—strengthening Rodeph Shalom and helping grow the broader Philadelphia Jewish community for generations to come.
