Jewish Federation of Central New Jersey is dedicated to building a vibrant, welcoming and connected Jewish community locally, nationally, in Israel and throughout the world.  Our commitment to 3 core values: acts of Gemilut Chasidim (loving-kindness), Avodah (volunteerism), and Torah (Jewish continuity)  inspires us to develop resources to repair the world.

How We Make a Difference

If the experience of a talented seventh grader named Alkalah is any indication, SPACE, the School Performance and Community Empowerment Program for Ethiopian – Israeli teenagers at risk can really work wonders.  Learn more about our work with Israel’s most vulnerable people.
