THE MISSION OF THE JEWISH FEDERATION of Greater New Haven is to lead, build, strengthen, and renew a dynamic local Jewish community and to provide support and caring for Jewish people in our community, Israel, and worldwide. We are guided by the traditional Jewish values of Torah (tradition, learning, and deeds), Tikkun Olam (improving the condition of our world), Tzedakah (philanthropy and acts of loving kindness), and K'lal Yisrael (Jewish peoplehood). The Department of Jewish Education is an integral part of the Jewish Federation, dedicated to a sacred mission of broadening and deepening Jewish life through learning. 

The Greater New Haven area encompasses central southern Connecticut, from Milford to Deep River.
