Safe to learn. Safe to play. Safe to grow.

Our Jewish schools and camps are places where children build friendships, discover who they are, and experience Jewish community.

Making sure those spaces are safe is one of the ways Federation helps Jewish life thrive.

Watch our latest video to see how the Jewish Federation of Greater Fairfield County is working to protect our schools and camps.

This is Federation.

Three years after the horrors of October 7, 2023, we remember.

We remember the innocent lives stolen, the hostages torn from their homes, and the communities devastated by unimaginable loss.

As we light this Yahrzeit candle, we honor those we lost and hold their memories close.

And we continue to stand with the people of Israel—not only in remembrance, but through action. Through our support of communities, families, and programs helping Israelis heal, rebuild, and find hope, we remain committed to Israel and to a stronger Jewish future.

May this light remind us that even in the darkest moments, we can stand together.

On Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, we finish reading the Torah and immediately begin again. It's a cycle that has sustained the Jewish people for generations.

But this holiday teaches us to pause before we begin again. We rest. We practice being present. We celebrate completion to honor what we've accomplished before the cycle begins again.

Swipe to explore Torah lessons from this holiday about practicing being present.

Unfortunately, due to an unexpected medical emergency involving our speaker, this event has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience and will share a new date as soon as possible.

Join us on Tuesday, October 6th at 7:30 PM at TCS Westport for an important Town Hall with Michael Masters, CEO of Secure Community Network (SCN), for a timely conversation about The State of Security in Our Jewish Community.

In the wake of October 7 and amid rising antisemitism, the security landscape has changed. Michael Masters will share what we’ve learned, the threats facing Jewish communities today, what’s being done locally to protect our institutions and families, and the resources available to our community.

Understand the threats. Learn what’s being done locally. Know the resources available to you. Bring your questions.

Chag Sukkot Sameach!

As we gather in our sukkahs this week, we’re reminded that true strength comes from building community, not walls. We are stronger when we’re together.

This is the heart of our work at :

Building communities strong enough to shelter all.

Creating lasting connections that provide meaning and security.

Ensuring no one faces life’s uncertainties alone.

Wishing you a joyful Sukkot filled with connection and celebration.
