Because Every Family Needs A Chance Jewish Connection News Apr 23, 2026 In A World Where Starting A Family Is Often Portrayed As A Natural And Inevitable Step, The Reality For Many Individuals And Couples Is Far More Complex. Infertility Affects Millions, Cutting Across Age, Geography, And Background. It Brings With It Not Only Medical Challenges, But Emotional And Financial Burdens That Can Feel Overwhelming. For Those Navigating This Difficult Path, Support Can Make All The Difference. That Belief Lies At The Heart Of The Jewish Fertility Foundation’s Upcoming 2026 Crowdfunding Campaign. Taking place on Tuesday, May 12th, 2026 – Wednesday, May 13th, 2026 this annual initiative is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a rallying cry for compassion, community, and action. Its guiding principle is simple yet powerful: because every family deserves a chance. The Reality Behind The Dream Infertility is often a silent struggle. While conversations around reproductive health have become more open in recent years, many still face their journeys in isolation. Treatments like IVF, egg freezing, and other assisted reproductive technologies offer hope, but they come at a steep cost. In the United States, a single cycle of IVF can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and multiple cycles are often needed. For many, these costs are prohibitive. Insurance coverage is inconsistent, and financial assistance is limited. The result is a heartbreaking reality: people who long to become parents are sometimes unable to pursue treatment simply because they cannot afford it. That’s where the Jewish Fertility Foundation steps in. Turning Hope Into Action The Foundation has built its mission around bridging this gap—offering both financial assistance and emotional support to those facing infertility. Through grants, educational resources, and community programming, it ensures that individuals and couples don’t have to walk this path alone. This year’s crowdfunding campaign aims to raise an ambitious $360,000. Every dollar will go directly toward needs-based fertility treatments, helping to transform hope into tangible opportunity. Behind that number are real stories—families waiting to be formed, dreams waiting to be realized. But reaching this goal requires more than donations. It requires people. The Power Of Ambassadors At the core of the campaign is a growing network of 70 Ambassadors—dedicated individuals who commit to sharing the mission within their own circles. These Ambassadors are not professional fundraisers. They are friends, family members, advocates, and community members who believe deeply in the cause. Their role is simple but impactful: set a personal fundraising goal, share their story or connection to the issue, and invite others to contribute. It’s grassroots fundraising at its most powerful—driven by authenticity, connection, and purpose. What makes the Ambassador program especially accessible is the support behind it. Participants receive training, step-by-step guidance, and ready-to-use messaging they can personalize. Whether someone is new to fundraising or experienced in advocacy, they are equipped with the tools they need to succeed. In a digital age where social networks can amplify messages instantly, one person’s voice can inspire dozens—or even hundreds—of others to take action. A Community Effort The campaign is not just about raising funds; it’s about building a community that understands and supports one another. Infertility can feel isolating, but initiatives like this remind people that they are not alone. Each contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of a larger collective effort. Each shared post, each conversation, each story told helps break the silence surrounding infertility. And each Ambassador becomes a bridge—connecting those who need help with those who are ready to give it. There’s also something uniquely meaningful about the timing and structure of the campaign. Concentrated over two days, it creates a sense of urgency and momentum. Supporters can watch the progress in real time, celebrating milestones together and pushing toward the shared goal. Why It Matters Now The need for fertility support continues to grow. As more individuals delay parenthood for personal, professional, or medical reasons, the demand for reproductive assistance increases. At the same time, economic pressures make it harder for many to afford care. Organizations like the Jewish Fertility Foundation play a critical role in addressing this gap. They ensure that the ability to build a family is not limited solely to those with financial means. But their work depends on community engagement. Campaigns like this one are an opportunity for people to step into that role—to be part of something larger than themselves. Whether by donating, becoming an Ambassador, or simply spreading the word, every action contributes to a ripple effect of impact. Answering The Call Becoming an Ambassador doesn’t require perfection or prior experience. It requires willingness—the willingness to share, to advocate, and to care. It’s about turning empathy into action and recognizing that even small efforts can lead to life-changing outcomes. For those considering getting involved, the process is intentionally simple. A single brief training session provides all the necessary tools, and ongoing support ensures no one feels alone in their efforts. And for those who may not take on an Ambassador role, there are still countless ways to participate. Donations, Social Media sharing, and conversations within personal networks all help move the mission forward. Because Every Family Deserves A Chance At its core, this campaign is about possibility. It’s about opening doors that might otherwise remain closed. It’s about ensuring that the dream of parenthood is not out of reach for those facing infertility. Behind every dollar raised is a story waiting to unfold—a future child, a hopeful parent, a family brought to life. As Tuesday, May 12th, 2026 – Wednesday, May 13th, 2026 approaches, the invitation is clear: be part of something deeply meaningful. Whether as an Ambassador, a donor, or an advocate, your involvement has the power to change lives. Because every family deserves a chance—and together, we can help make that chance a reality. You only need to register for ONE brief training session to become an ambassador!

Stand Up & Speak Out With Adela Cojab Jewish Connection News May 2, 2025 In A World Increasingly Marked By Division, Misinformation, And Antisemitism, One Voice Rises Above The Noise To Champion Truth, Resilience, And Identity: Adela Cojab. With Unwavering Passion And Clarity, Cojab Has Become A Leading Figure In Jewish Advocacy And Education, Inspiring A New Generation To Embrace Their Heritage And Stand Up For What’s Right. On Monday, May 12th, 2025 and Tuesday, May 13th, 2025, David Posnack JCC & Michael-Ann Russell JCC will host two evenings that promise to empower and energize the Jewish community. "Stand Up & Speak Out: The Jewish Response to Today’s Challenges" will feature Adela Cojab in person at two venues: the David Posnack JCC in Davie and the Michael-Ann Russell JCC in North Miami Beach. These events are more than just lectures—they are calls to action, urging attendees to engage, educate, and elevate Jewish voices in a time of great need. A Voice Born from Experience Adela Cojab’s journey into activism didn’t start in a boardroom—it began on the front lines of campus life. Cojab attended New York University and graduated from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a degree in Middle Eastern diaspora studies in 2019. She was president of the pro-Israel group Realize Israel, she faced firsthand the rising tide of antisemitism and anti-Zionism on college campuses. Her response: She refused to be silent. In 2019, she famously filed a federal complaint against NYU under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, citing the university’s failure to protect Jewish students from discrimination and harassment. Her bold move sent ripples through higher education, challenging institutions to recognize and address antisemitism with the same gravity as other forms of hate. Since then, Cojab has become a sought-after speaker, educator, and advocate. Her work has taken her from the United Nations to international conferences, and now, to South Florida—where her message is more vital than ever. A Night of Empowerment Attendees of "Stand Up & Speak Out" can expect more than just a speech—they’ll be part of a movement. Adela Cojab brings a unique blend of personal experience, academic insight, and motivational energy. She addresses complex issues with clarity, discussing how young Jews today can maintain pride in their identity while navigating often-hostile environments. Her message resonates deeply with audiences of all ages, but especially with students and young adults, many of whom are confronting antisemitism on campuses, online, and in social spaces. For them, Cojab offers guidance—and hope. She equips attendees with practical tools: how to engage in dialogue, respond to misinformation, and build coalitions that support a vibrant and inclusive Jewish future. Organized by Claudia Tabacinic, these two events are not to be missed: Monday, May 12th, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. David Posnack JCC – Lippman Reception Room https://www.givebutter.com/adela Ticket: $36 for adults, $18 for students and Maccabi members Tuesday, May 13th, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. Michael-Ann Russell JCC – Alan and Diane Lieberman Theater https://www.marjcc.org/MAGENLIVE Ticket: $36 for adults, $18 for students and Maccabi members Whether you’re a parent, student, educator, or simply someone passionate about Jewish continuity, these events offer a rare opportunity to engage with one of today’s most compelling Jewish voices. Building a Brighter Future What sets Adela Cojab apart is her belief in the power of youth. She doesn’t just speak to young people—she speaks with them, recognizing their potential to lead. Her events often turn into forums for dialogue, where students share their experiences, fears, and triumphs. In return, Cojab offers mentorship, encouragement, and a network of support. At a time when Jewish communities around the globe face significant challenges, Cojab’s message couldn’t be more urgent. She reminds us that being Jewish is not something to hide or defend—it’s something to celebrate. With antisemitism on the rise, and misinformation spreading rapidly online, silence is no longer an option. "Stand Up & Speak Out" is not just an event—it’s an invitation. An invitation to become informed, to be inspired, and to take action. Join Adela Cojab and the South Florida community for two unforgettable evenings of courage, clarity, and commitment to Jewish identity!
