This summer, Camp Wise campers and staff members attended a two-week session at Camp Szarvas, a Federation-supported program in Hungary. The teens had an opportunity to interact with Jewish peers from around the world. Watch this video to learn about their experience.

Thank you to News 5 Cleveland for their coverage of Jewish Federation of Cleveland's billboard campaign for the Israeli hostages.

The 2025 Campaign for Jewish Needs is underway! Hear from Campaign Chair, Amir Jaffa on what made Super Sunday a perfect way to kick off the Campaign.

More than 1,200 people joined the Jewish Federation of Cleveland in raising $2,610,712 for its annual Campaign for Jewish Needs on Sept. 8 during its Super Sunday Kickoff event.

We can do anything when we do it together! Our community's support of the 2025 Campaign ensures that everyone's basic needs are met, we can combat the rise in antisemitism, spark a lifelong passion for Jewish traditions, and so much more.

We hope to see you at our September events. We look forward to opening a new exhibit in Federation's Roe Green Gallery, welcoming an Israeli expert on the Israel/Gaza war to share his insight, volunteering prior to the holidays at a local Jewish cemetery, and more.

With four months until it celebrates 10 years, JFC Security, LLC, a community security initiative, has become the “gold standard” across the country. In 2013, former FBI agent Jim Hartnett was hired to serve as director of community-wide security for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s security provider.

For 120 years, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has supported Jewish life in Cleveland, around the United States and around the world. Many Clevelanders began their involvement with Jewish life at the Federation as officers, board members, campaign chairs and other roles. Their involvement with one of the oldest Federations in the country has led them to go on and become lay leaders of major Jewish organizations.

Jewish campus life has been a great part of our Jewish community’s focus for so many generations.

For more than 300 days, we have been praying for the safe and immediate release of the hostages taken by Hamas last October. “Bring Them Home Now” is not just some slogan – it’s a plea for humanity.
