Caring for older adults has always been a priority for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Chaplaincy program offers comfort to members of the Jewish community in hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons through visits and correspondence from rabbis and volunteers. Based at four Cleveland hospitals, its mission is to unite, strengthen, and show every community member that they are cared for.

In response to rising concerns about community safety, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, in partnership with JFC Security, LLC, launched a pilot program to train volunteer security teams at local synagogues. The initiative equips community members to support professional security staff by providing additional eyes and ears to monitor potential threats and respond effectively during emergencies.

Sirens, uncertainty, and constant updates became the backdrop of what was supposed to be a 10-day educational journey across Israel. Last June, 26 Cleveland Jewish teens traveled to Israel with israel.cleveland.next (icnext), but on June 13, as fighting escalated across multiple fronts, their experience shifted dramatically. Bringing them home immediately became the top priority. While awaiting evacuation, icnext staff and chaperones created engaging programming and provided support to keep teens calm amid the backdrop of war.

Thanks to our community's generosity to the annnual Campaign for Jewish Needs, Federation-supported Jewish day schools like Hebrew Academy of Cleveland are able to provide innovative educational opportunities that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and leadership. These investments help ensure students have the tools, resources, and experiences they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland and Jewish Family Service Association (JFSA) partnered on a program that gives audiology care access to individuals who might not otherwise have the ability to receive that care on their own.
