JewConnect – Together We Build Hope and Strength

Since October 7th, Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses across the Midwest have faced growing challenges, fear, and isolation. Many are working tirelessly just to keep their doors open, while carrying the weight of being visible as Jews in today’s reality.

JewConnect was born to change that. From one small idea, we’ve built a community where hundreds of businesses and thousands of people find visibility, trust, and connection. A place where no one feels alone, and where our voices and livelihoods can be celebrated with pride.

We are now in the process of becoming a nonprofit so we can serve even more, creating safe spaces, expanding Shabbat and holiday programs, building advocacy, and giving every business the tools to thrive.

Your donation helps us continue this mission in real and practical ways. It funds the creation of professional business profiles, social media promotion, and marketing tools for small businesses. It allows us to host Shabbat dinners and community events that bring people together. It supports advocacy and outreach, so Jewish businesses feel seen, heard, and safe. It sustains the daily work that keeps this platform alive and growing.

But we cannot do this alone. Your gift is not just a donation, it is an act of solidarity. It says: We see you. We believe in you. 
We stand together.

Every contribution helps us keep building hope, strengthening our community, and ensuring that Jewish businesses are not only supported, but celebrated.


Please give today. Together, we grow stronger.
