A Donor Advised Fund is a charitable giving account offered by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago that helps donors manage their charitable donations. The fund is managed by the Federation in the donor's name, and established with a minimum contribution of $1,000. By opening a Donor Advised Fund at the Jewish Federation donors are able to recommend grants to multiple charities, Jewish or secular; set up their fund to pay their synagogue dues yearly; better organize their philanthropy; call on Jewish Federation staff for philanthropic expertise; and take advantage of the highest possible tax deduction.

Eliana Melmed Photography

 Hi, I'm Eliana, a Jewish wedding photographer who gets it! Born in New York, raised in LA, and currently living in Chicago, I have a deep understanding of many different kinds of Jewish wedding traditions. My approach is about authentic moments, not stiff poses. I bring a journalistic style to documenting the day's events, from the pre-ceremony prayers to the post-reception hora. I know how much goes into planning a Jewish wedding, and I'm here to capture it all so that you can be fully present. While based in Chicago, I travel often for destination Jewish weddings (catch me in NY, Boston, DC and more)! I'm a full-time professional and my work has been featured in Smashing the Glass, CHI thee WED, Modern Luxury Weddings and more. Let's connect about your vision and how I can bring it life through luminous, timeless images. Mazel tov!
