The JLIC Jerusalem Community

A Vibrant Community/Center for Jewish Life & Learning

Goal amount: 18,000USD

Think about the last time you felt truly at home somewhere new. Not just comfortable, but seen, rooted, like you belonged.

That's what JLIC Jerusalem has been building for four years, every week, for young Olim and students in the Holy City.

Right now, someone in your network is spending their first Shabbat alone in Jerusalem. Your support means they don't have to.

Under the leadership of Rav Jeremy & Emily Tibbetts and Eytan & Hannah Labe, hundreds of young people have found that home here, through wars, uncertainty, and everything in between.

The need hasn't stopped. Neither should your support.

L'chaim. Give today.

What your support makes possible:

• Torah Learning — Weekly shiurim worth showing up for
• Shabbat Together — A kiddush where nobody spends Shabbat alone
• Holiday Celebrations — So no Yom Tov gets spent without a community
• Social Events — The friendships that make Jerusalem feel like home
• Chesed — Packing food, building sukkot, visiting the elderly. Showing up.

This year, in numbers:

• 250 people walked through our doors for the first time
• 250 Shabbat meals so nobody ate alone
• 50 weeks of Minyan and Kiddush — we showed up every single week
• 40+ Beit Midrash events and 40+ Parsha shiurim — Torah learning, every week, all year

Thoughts From Rav Jeremy & Emily: 

Leading this community is an incredible privilege. Over the past few years of war and hardships, living in Israel has not been simple. But with all the breaking comes the opportunity for an incredible re-building. If the Olim in Jerusalem know how to do anything, it’s build! We’ve been blessed to support hundreds of young adults in finding a home in Jerusalem. Many have met their spouses, some have found jobs, roommates, new projects and opportunities to support others. It is a true blessing to do this work, and it would mean the world if you’d support us.
