Denver JDS Jewish Days of Giving

At Denver Jewish Day School, we don't just educate students—we nurture future Jewish leaders, community builders, and proud individuals who will carry forward our traditions, values, and connection to Israel.

Research confirms what we witness daily: Jewish day school education creates an enduring foundation for Jewish identity and engagement that lasts a lifetime.

Recent research of Jewish day school alumni on college campuses reveals the profound difference a day school education makes:

• 81% of day school alumni say their Jewish identity is very important to them—more than twice the rate of those who didn't attend day school (35%).
• 56% of Jewish day school alumni feel "very close" to the Jewish community during their college years, compared to just 19% of those who didn't attend Jewish day school.
• Jewish college students who attended Jewish day school (61%) are four times more likely to feel a strong connection to Israel, compared to those who didn't attend Jewish day school (16%).
• Twice as many Jewish day school alumni engage in Jewish life on campus regularly (53% compared to 23% who didn't attend day school).

We recognize that these are challenging times for many in our community. Economic uncertainties and global concerns weigh heavily on all of us. Yet the importance of Jewish education remains constant—perhaps even more vital today than ever before. We hope you'll consider donating during these challenging times.
