Westchester
Join Westchester’s active Jewish community in making a difference in New York, in Israel, and around the world — helping the sick and the hungry, connecting our children to their Jewish roots, and offering humanitarian relief to communities devastated by crisis. When we work together, there’s almost no limit to what we can accomplish.
Through groups focused on geographic communities, business and professional opportunities, and special interests, participants get the chance to meet like-minded, philanthropic people in their own backyard, while helping sustain UJA-Federation’s network of more than 100 educational, relief, human-service, and community-building agencies.
We have something for everyone, from teens to retirees:
- Innovative and imaginative programs for women, couples, and families
- Trips to Israel and beyond
- Leadership development opportunities
- Roundtables and task forces focused on specific areas and interests
- Briefings from top-notch experts
- Social-action activities and hands-on volunteer projects
- Jewish educational programs
- Government advocacy opportunities
- Tikkun olam projects designed for families
