NORTH AMERICA AND NEW JERSEY COLLECTIVE EFFORTS
Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey operates simultaneously as a local, independent entity and as part of both New Jersey and North American Federation collectives, JFNJ and JFNA, protecting and enhancing the well-being of Jews throughout Monmouth and Greater Middlesex counties, the state of NJ, and far beyond.
JFNJ comprises 5 Federations serving 14 counties in the state and JFNA comprises 146 Federations and partners with organizations, e.g. JDC, JAFI, and others to support over 300 communities in North America, Israel, the former Soviet Union, and beyond.
Together, we do for all Jews what no single community or organization can achieve alone. The following are highlights, not an exhaustive listing, of this work.
Collectively Advocating For Change
Collective efforts enabled us to successfully advocate for meaningful increases in funding for state and federal nonprofit security grants making the Jewish and other faith communities more prepared in the face of growing threats.
Aiding Those Affected By War
Collective efforts enabled us to rescue, resettle, and provide emeregency resources and care to hundreds of thousands of people affected by war in Ukraine, including some of the most vulnerable, elderly citizens.
