75 Years of Building Community

75 Years of Building Community

Since the beginning of the United Jewish Welfare chapter in Long Beach, the organized Jewish community can trace its roots to 1948. Throughout the 75 years, our community has seen tremendous change, including the growth of the community, and the evolution of the Long Beach Jewish Community Center into the Alpert Jewish Community Center, thanks to the generosity of the Alpert Family. Likewise, the United Jewish Welfare became the Jewish Federation of Greater Long Beach & West Orange County, to now, as one combined agency with the Jewish Community Foundation and Alpert JCC, named Jewish Long Beach. What hasn’t changed is the mission of these organizations, centered around building community for today and sustaining it for tomorrow.

When you donate to Jewish Long Beach & Alpert JCC, you are changing lives. Your gift will provide support in three critical areas:

• Programs that improve people’s lives Jewishly, with a focus on ECE, Youth & Family Engagement, Senior Wellness and Jewish Life & Culture.

• Community building, Jewish advocacy, and leadership development, through partnerships with local Jewish and other community agencies to foster collaboration, empower community leaders, inspire the next generation, and build bridges of understanding.

• Philanthropy that provides support for local Jewish organizations and Jewish communal needs locally, nationally, in Israel and around the world
