The non-profit Jewish Nevada is the central coordinating body for fundraising, planning, allocations, and community services for the Jewish community in Las Vegas, Nevada and serves as the local chapter of the Jewish Federations of North America.

This series consists of collages of photographs mounted on oversize poster boards. Several collages depict different groups within the Jewish Federation (Hillel, Women's Division, and Young Adult Division) and two collages depict the events and accomplishments of the Jewish Federation as a whole during specific years. The photographs date from 2001 to 2009.
