Jewish Historical Society of Upper Midwest Inc

There's never been a better time to support JHSUM. Thanks to the Heilicher Family Foundation, all donations received now through November 21, 2024 will be doubled up to $7,000.  Thank You for your support! 

MEMBERSHIP TZEDAKAH
Membership tzedakah helps JHSUM collect oral histories and artifacts and funds our programs, exhibits, mini-documentaries and other JHSUM operations. The stories we collect and share teach the next generation about our region’s Jewish history and impact on the broader community.

TRIBUTE TZEDAKAH
Tribute tzedakah sustains JHSUM and tzedakah is also a traditional vehicle for us to remember a life cycle occasion. Tribute donations to JHSUM may be made in honor of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion, to express sympathy, to honor a memory of a loved one, or as an expression of gratitude. A L’Dor membership is a perpetual tribute gift. We now have two levels of L’Dor memberships, which are endowed and provide operating funds each year. Your loved one’s name(s) will be written each year in our annual report where we honor our members and donors. 

LEGACY TZEDAKAH
Legacy tzedakah secures JHSUM’s future work and doesn’t dent your current budget. Inflation and market fluctuations can make us nervous about financial security. We still want to support JHSUM. Please consider making an afterlife tzedakah commitment to JHSUM by naming JHSUM a beneficiary of your IRA, a life insurance policy, trust or will.
