125 years of joy, tradition and community — and we’re just getting started!

Thank you to the around 700 people who joined us for the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Main Event. It was an unforgettable evening, highlighted by an inspiring conversation with keynote speaker, Emmy Award-winning actress and activist Debra Messing, moderated by CBS News correspondent Jonah Kaplan.

💙 Together, we gathered to honor our history and look toward our future. Now, it’s time to shape what comes next.

Today marks eight years since the tragedy at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. We pause to honor and remember the eleven vibrant souls who were taken from us while gathered in prayer.

Their absence remains deeply felt by their families, the Pittsburgh community and the broader Jewish community. Yet, in the face of unspeakable hatred, Pittsburgh showed us what true strength looks like. Resilience means choosing love, unity and community over fear, day after day.

May their memories be a blessing.🕯️✡️

What does security look like for Jewish congregations and organizations in 2026 and beyond? Earlier this month, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia hosted the Bucks County Security Summit to answer that question.

Over 45 staff and leaders from Bucks County synagogues and organizations heard from the Jewish Federation, Secure Community Network and the Bucks County District Attorney's Office Hate Crimes Unit. Participants walked away with actionable strategies to keep their communities safe.

This is just one way that we're supporting Greater Philadelphia communities through our Federation in Your Neighborhood initiative. Stay tuned for more!

When Daniel Zahn dreamed of immersing himself in Jewish learning and culture, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia helped turn that dream into reality. Thanks to the Morton Stein Scholarship Fund for Orthodox Yeshivot in Israel, Daniel was able to travel to Israel and deepen his connection to Judaism.

“The scholarship was what made it possible for me to forgo an income for a few months and go to Israel to get this incredible experience,” Daniel said.

This scholarship is provided through the Jewish Community Foundation, a branch of the Jewish Federation committed to providing top-tier, customized planned giving services to individuals, families and Jewish institutions.
