Jewish Federation Of Greater St Paul

Programs: The jewish federation of greater st. Paul forms the foundation of jewish life in our community. We care for the welfare of jews, build community and maximize participation in jewish life in st. Paul, in israel and around the world. We identify critical needs and mobilize resources and organizations to address them. Federation raises funds through annual campaigns and distributes those funds to beneficiary agencies to care for the most vulnerable, protect jews against anti-semitism and intolerance, and strengthen jewish life. Federation uses an impartial process led by lay leaders to plan, allocate, and evaluate how to best meet today's and tomorrow's needs while making the greatest possible impact.

federation provides opportunities for young adults to develop skills to be tomorrow's leaders of the jewish community. Through our harry kay leadership program, young adults ages 30 to 45 develop leadership skills, gain a deeper understanding of our local and overseas jewish communities, and learn to effectively address the issues and challenges facing the jewish people. Through our twin cities young adult engagement program, we foster personal relationships with young adults in the community, empower them to be innovative in their own jewish lives, and connect to the jewish institutions. Through grantmaking we help individuals seeking to develop new initiatives for jewish life in the twin cities. Due to the generosity of a benefactor, scholarships are provided for students to attend u. S. Colleges and universities.

federation helps youth build strong jewish identities through time-tested programs. We provide scholarships for jewish summer camp and israel experiences. We provide free jewish-content books and music every month to children ages six months to eight years through the pj library program. We also help young people go to israel through our passport to israel program and support of birthright israel and masa israel.
