Live Generously, with the Memphis Jewish Federation

We can all Live Generously, no matter who we are or what we have. Giving is not just about making charitable donations — it is about giving your time, effort and spirit. Every day presents a fresh chance to do a mitzvah, get involved and discover new opportunities. When you Live Generously through acts of kindness you get the most out of life.
