The Jewish Federation of New Mexico partners with Jewish
organizations to meet the needs of Jews in New Mexico, Israel and worldwide
through leadership, philanthropy, education, and social action. The Jewish Federation is committed to seeing Jewish life thrive. Its publications include The New Mexico Jewish Link, a newspaper; and Discovering Jewish Albuquerque, a resource guide.
Following the closure of Jewish Family Service of New Mexico, the Jewish Federation of New Mexico has been working with its partner agencies to meet the social services needs of our most vulnerable Jewish community members.
As a result, two new initiatives have been created:
Holocaust Survivors Support Program To provide Holocaust survivors in the Albuquerque metropolitan area with a caring support system, the Holocaust Survivors Support Program was launched under the auspices of The Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico, with funding provided by the Jewish Federation of New Mexico. The purpose of the Holocaust Survivors Support Program is to provide a dedicated case worker for the estimated thirty Holocaust survivors in the Albuquerque metropolitan area in order to enhance their quality of life. As part of the Holocaust Survivor’s Support Program, caseworker Susan Minkus, who has extensive experience with the survivor population, will meet ongoing clients needs by providing emotional support; conducting needs assessments including ensuring that client medical, prescription and nutritional needs are being met; coordinating housekeeping services and staffing a quarterly socialization event. Holocaust survivors in need of Support Program assistance may contact Susan Minkus at (505) 217-4212. Jewish Care Program of Albuquerque |

To provide Jewish community members at all stages of life, in crisis, transition or in physical/emotional distress with one-on-one counseling and advocacy, the Jewish Care Program of Albuquerque, a program administered by the Jewish Community Center of Albuquerque, with funding provided by the Jewish Federation of New Mexico, will be launched May 1st.
The Jewish Care Program caseworker, an employee of the Jewish Community Center, will be hired to provide ongoing case management services to clients; provide advocacy services, including interceding on behalf of clients to gain access to needed services and supports; refer clients to additional services and consult with Jewish clergy and congregational staff for client referrals. The caseworker will be housed at the Jewish Federation of New Mexico offices.
In Santa Fe, the JFNM Board approved funding to allow Miryam Levy to perform her Jewish Chaplaincy duties under the auspices of CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical.
In the coming weeks, the JFNM will assess the progress of these initiatives with their partnering agencies, and make modifications as needed. Community members interested in supporting these initiatives may contact the Jewish Federation of New Mexico office at (505) 821-3214. |
