Since 1848, The New Jewish Home has helped older New Yorkers live full and meaningful lives by providing outstanding health care and innovative programming. The New Jewish Home is a comprehensive, mission-driven nonprofit health care system serving older adults of all faiths, ethnicities, and income levels. At our Manhattan campus, The New Jewish Home provides specialized short-term rehabilitation in partnership with Mount Sinai Health System, NYU Langone Health; person-directed long term skilled nursing; adult day health care; geriatric care management and senior housing. The New Jewish Home is a proud partner and founding agency of UJA-Federation of New York.
Jewish Family Service LA (www.jfsla.org) is an ‘extended family’ that welcomes and serves people of all ages, ethnicities and religions with compassion and caring. Established in 1854, JFS is proud to offer a family of services for people in need. These nationally recognized services counsel and support individuals and families, helping nearly 100,000 people each year in the greater Los Angeles area.
JFS provides food and shelter, connects people with disabilities to vital resources, and helps relatives and friends care for loved ones, young and old. JFS counsels families in crisis, and at-risk children through school based programs. JFS provides safe shelter for homeless families, as well as for abused women and their children, and helps them create independent lives. The families JFS serves have evolved over the last century and a half, but JFS’ mission to strengthen and support families has never wavered.
Our mission is to build flourishing Jewish communities that are healthy, safe, caring, welcoming and inclusive, educated and engaged, active in civil society, and connected to global Jewry and Israel.
Jewish Federations are the central communal address in nearly 400 Jewish communities across North America.
Our dedicated, creative, and passionate professionals work daily to make our communities and the broader world stronger, more vibrant places.
