Baltimore's Jewish community is renowned for its generosity and kindness in supporting causes and institutions in locales far and wide.

The "Commitment to Community" Pledge is a grass roots effort -- enthusiastically supported by the Vaad HaRabbonim -- to encourage and facilitate meaningful support of our community's families and institutions.

Please take a moment to read The Pledge and sign your name to the growing list of members in our community who are committing to put community first in their charitable giving.

Many organizations in the Baltimore community are doing their part to combat the downturn.
