ABOUT NEFCA
Most NEFCA events are fundraisers for Jewish charities. The "2nd Annual Broadway Purim Shpiel" is a benefit for Taglit-birthright Israel. NEFCA prides itself on improving the image of Jewish charities by producing unique and entertaining benefit events per request. Organizations are desperately seeking out fresh fundraising programs to avoid the saturated market of monotonous charity dinners. NEFCA provides that originality and works with charities to brand them as trendier and more interesting. NEFCA develops many different kinds of events including but not limited to film, theater and television projects.
ABOUT Taglit-birthright israel
Taglit-birthright israel provides the gift of first time, peer group, educational trips to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26. Taglit-birthright israel's founders created this program to send thousands of young Jewish adults from all over the world to Israel as a gift in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world; to strengthen the sense of solidarity among world Jewry; and to strengthen participants' personal Jewish identity and connection to the Jewish people. Upon returning from Israel, alumni often reunite at the Jewish Enrichment Center. The JEC offers a variety of cutting-edge events, classes and cultural programs and is the official event provider for the Taglit-birthright israel Alumni Association.
The gift of the 10-day trip is provided by our partners: the people of Israel through the Government of Israel, Jewish communities around the world (North American Jewish Federations through the United Jewish Communities (UJC), Keren Hayesod and the Jewish Agency for Israel), and leading private philanthropists. Taglit-birthright israel operates on a belief that it is every Jewish person's birthright to visit Israel. This summer, Taglit-birthright israel will welcome its 100,000th participant to Israel.
