Israel & Jews Worldwide

One People. One Future. One Global Family.

Our bond with Israel and Jewish communities around the world is at the heart of who we are. Federation strengthens these ties by providing critical support, building deep and lasting relationships, and investing in the vibrancy and resilience of Jewish life everywhere.

Whether responding to terror in Israel, sustaining Jewish identity in the diaspora, or supporting young people on transformative journeys to connect with their heritage, Federation stands with our global Jewish family in times of crisis and in everyday life. This is our shared responsibility—and our sacred commitment.
