The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia

We make a vital difference in Jewish lives at home, in Israel and around the world, addressing the full range of social service needs and providing lifesaving humanitarian relief. When a child needs an education or a family loses their income, Jewish Federation is there. We make sure a Holocaust Survivor isn't deserted, and that no one who is disabled is without assistance. Jewish Federation holds out a safety net. And we'll never let it fall.

Because we truly believe we are stronger together, we connect Jews from different generations and backgrounds to celebrate our shared history and peoplehood. Together with our network of agencies, we build welcoming, vibrant Jewish communities and give people of all ages access to Jewish experiences and to each other.

Since 1901, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and its Jewish Community Foundation have helped create a strong Jewish community by meeting urgent needs, responding to major events and strengthening Jewish identity and traditions.

To continue to provide crucial services, protect the advancements we have made and enhance the services we provide, we must invest for the future. We must plant the seeds today to grow a safer and more vibrant tomorrow. Together, we can work toward ensuring that the next generation can cultivate Jewish pride, connect with their community and practice their faith without fear of discrimination.
