The Jewish Federation of Reading/Berks is proud to offer Jewish children/students who are residents of our Berks County Jewish community monetary awards of $1000 per child to support their participation in programs that nurture Jewish identity, leadership, and connections to their culture, history, and Israel.

 

This scholarship is designed to be flexible: it supports summer camps, youth groups, and any structured Jewish educational content.

 

Our goal is to ensure that every Jewish child in the Reading/Berks community has access to meaningful Jewish experiences. 

 

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity, and we are looking forward to hearing about your kids' experiences!

The Lakin Holocaust Library & Resource Center at Albright College is proud to have served our community for over 30 years.

Your gift of $30 will allow us to transcribe more than two dozen video testimonies of local Holocaust survivors held at the Lakin HRC. These transcriptions will allow students at Albright College and researchers around the world to better search and analyze these important first- person accounts of survival during the Holocaust. This vital addition will ensure that the  survivors' legacies live on and stories are heard.
