When You Show Up, Anything Is Possible

A look at nearly 130 years of CJP impact — and an invitation to invest in the Jewish future of Greater Boston, Israel, and the world.

Written by

Rabbi Marc Baker

President and CEO, CJP

For nearly 130 years, a contribution to CJP has been an act of hope — an investment in our shared future. Take a look at all we’ve done by standing together with our Jewish community in Greater Boston, Israel, and around the world and get inspired by the possibility of doing so much more. Give now, give more, give for our future.
