Engaging in our Community

Arriving in Los Angeles in search of a brighter future and a shot at the American dream, the Jewish community turned to The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles to create a presence in which they, individually and communally, could live and flourish.

For the past 100 years, The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles has engaged in our city, promoting an inclusive community that reflects the best of American and Jewish values. The pursuit of a just society, ensuring a strong Jewish future and promoting a safe and vibrant Israel are the enduring cornerstones of our work.

We engage the community by providing robust service and volunteer opportunities, combating illiteracy, fighting hunger, shaping policy and advocating for Israel. Together as a community, and with diverse partners across Los Angeles, we can shape the future of our city for the next 100 years.
