Jewish Identity

To ensure a vibrant Jewish community for the future, it is essential to support Jewish education and provide programs that build Jewish identity today. Federation CJA is investing nearly $8.5 million in response to this communal priority, which includes $3 million to provide tuition assistance to families who could not otherwise afford a Jewish education for their children.
