About us
Our Mission The Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity and social justice) and Torah (Jewish learning). Our Actions Federation donors, volunteers and staff are: Repairing the world. You’ll find us raising fresh produce for the hungry at Jessie’s Community Gardens, reading with at-risk students through Children's Reading Partners, and visiting homebound Jewish seniors to build friendships and reduce isolation. Educating Jewish children. We fund free Jewish books and music for more than 1,000 local children through the PJ Library initiative, managed by our friends at the Mandell JCC. We offer professional development workshops and grants to local Jewish educators. And we provide vital financial support to local Jewish day schools and youth programs. Advocating for Israel. Federation offers year-round educational and social programs to help you learn more about Israel, explore different perspectives on Israel, and advocate effectively for Israel. Developing Jewish leaders. Our Federation developed and manages the Greater Hartford Jewish Leadership Academy, which supports existing community leaders and helps rising leaders build the skills required to lead our community in the 21st century and beyond. Federation itself also offers a variety of leadership opportunities. Our Annual Campaign Federation’s Annual Campaign raises $4.3 million annually to support programs and services for nearly 15,000 local Jewish households in Greater Hartford. The Annual Campaign also supports our Jewish brothers and sisters overseas - more than 1.6 million people in 60 countries - who often suffer from religious intolerance and a lack of economic opportunity.
