Jewish Federation Of New Hampshire

Programs: Funds are granted from this agency to other organizations which are local, within our state, country and overseas. These funds are provided to non-profit organizations that provide services that further our stated mission. The largest allocations are to support jewish education within new hampshire (funding is given to 8 synagogues for their schools) and the jewish federation of north america. Other allocations are given to organizations including birthright israel. With this program, jfnh acts similarly to the heritage united way, by collecting one gift and distributing it amongst many recipients.

jfnh publishes and distributes a newspaper, "the nh jewish reporter" ten times per year to every known jewish address within our state free of charge. The purpose of the paper is to educate and inform the statewide jewish community regarding issues related to the jewish community including its values, culture and history. Information is also included regarding programs and events. The paper accepts submissions from other jewish organizations without charge, allowing them to inform the community of programs and events. The costs of the paper are partially defrayed through paid advertising.

the jfnh preschool is licensed by the state of nh, servicing children of all faiths and averages approximately 25 to 35 students per year. The focus is the development of the child: socially; emotionally; mentally; physically; and spiritually. We maintain a low student to teacher ratio, thus guaranteeing that each child receives consistent individual attention. Teachers emphasize judaic content with songs, stories, blessings, sabbath and holiday programming for the children and parents. Need based scholarships are given to preschool parents that cannot afford the tuition of the program.
