Jewish Justice Giving Day is a new national giving day for affiliates of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable. Jewish Justice Giving Day provides an opportunity to make giving a more central and visible part of Jewish justice activism and philanthropy. We collectively uplift the importance of investing in Jewish social justice as a core expression in Jewish life.

As we look to the first of many annual Jewish Justice Giving Days, we are energized by the opportunity of creating a better future, together. We approach that work with faith in the Jewish community’s evergreen commitment to justice. 

Our very first Jewish Justice Giving Day is Wednesday, February 26, 2025. This date was chosen to connect to Shabbat Shekalim on the Jewish calendar (which begins on Friday, February 28). On Shabbat Shekalim, we recall that our ancestors were asked to contribute half of a Biblical shekel to meet the needs of the community as a whole.

On Jewish Justice Giving Day, we act on our tradition of tzedakah (giving) as one way of supporting justice work.
