Columbus Jewish Agencies

For a list of other Jewish community agencies and synagogues, refer to the Jewish Columbus website.

Columbus Jewish Federation:

The Federation builds and strengthens Jewish community; from your hometown to our homeland, from the home-bound to the homeless, from elderly Jews in Russia to North American teens discovering their birthright in Israel. Whether the task is reducing Jewish poverty and hunger, rescuing and resettling new immigrants, or spurring Jewish renaissance worldwide, the federation is committed to seizing this moment in Jewish history to ensure the continuity of the Jewish people.
