Welcome to the Jewish Community of Louisville

The photos in the thermometer tell part of the story. With your donation to the 2013 Federation Campaign:

  • We provide programming for college students and offer them a place to meet and interact with other Jewish students at Hillel.
  • The Teen Connection and BBYO ensure that middle and high school students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of fun activities, engage their Judaism and develop strong Jewish identities.
  • JCC Summer Camp is a strong, vibrant program; and scholarship help is available to assist those families who can’t afford the cost.
  • Seniors can take advantage of hot, kosher lunches five days a week – either congregate of delivered to the homebound – as well as a series of activities designed to keep them fit and active, physically and mentally.
  • JFCS is able to offer a wide range of programs to help families and individuals cope with life’s challenges, from preparing to adopt a child and choosing appropriate schools to dealing with unemployment, hunger or divorce to arranging services for an aging parent. All services are available on a sliding scale so help is available when it is needed.
  • And together, we fulfill our obligation to Jews-at-risk in Israel and around the world, providing food, medicine, counseling, education and more.
