Investing in a generation that was nearly lost — and is now finding its way home.
Students across Illinois, Oregon, Ohio (Cincinnati & Columbus), Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York & Florida — and connected to partner organizations including Camp Nagila, NCSY, J-Life,
Sunday Schools and teen programs throughout the community.
Tens of thousands
of Russian-speaking Jews in Chicago's suburbs have no connection to their heritage.
Jewish Path is the only organization working systematically to reach them.
The case for support
Why Now, Why Jewish Path The "Forgotten Generation" is in its peak receptive window.
Men and women in their 40s and 50s are asking life's deepest questions — about meaning, legacy, and belonging. If we reach them now, we reclaim entire family trees.
Jewish Path has moved past the startup phase. The model is proven. The relationships are built. What we need is the capacity to scale — to serve more students, hold more events, and extend our reach nationwide.
Your partnership makes that possible.

The opportunity
Most kiruv organizations focus on youth, students, or young families.
The Russian-speaking 40+ professional — educated, established, searching — is almost entirely overlooked.
This is the highest-leverage demographic in outreach.
When a 50-year-old patriarch reconnects with his Judaism, it reshapes the trajectory of his wife, his children, and his grandchildren.
One person becomes a family. One family becomes a community.
We don't just teach — we connect families to the broader ecosystem: children to Jewish day schools and summer camps, teenagers to NCSY and J-Life, and adults to community organizations that sustain long-term growth.
