About Us

 

Federation touches more Jewish lives on the planet than any other organization.

 

In places like Ukraine, where elderly Jews with no pension would have to choose between buying medicine and heating their homes -- if we weren’t there to help them. And in places like 
Cuba where, without us, there would be no Jewish learning opportunities, rabbis or holiday celebrations.

 
When a family in our community can’t afford to pay for Jewish camp. When a single mother 
loses her job or a senior needs help around the house and human warmth. Wherever there is 
a need, we are there to sustain and strengthen Jewish life.

 

We do this by funding and supporting a world-wide network of organizations that do two things:

 

1. Care for people in need here at home, in Israel and around the world.

2. Nurture and sustain the Jewish community today and for future generations.

 

The Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley is focused on addressing the most pressing issues facing our community every day.
