That’s our goal for the 2027 Community Campaign, and we launched it in style Wednesday night at The Pennsylvanian with Pittsburgh’s own Billy Porter, Kendra Ingram of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and our emcee, KDKA-TV | CBS Pittsburgh's Lauren Linder. Thank you to everyone who filled the room with so much energy!

Our Corazones Unidos: Mission to Mexico City participants recently saw how Federation connects Jewish communities around the world.

At Centro Deportivo Israelita, the heart of Mexico City’s Jewish community, they met the Jewish Agency for Israel’s (JAFI) shlichim, the emissaries who bring Israel and Jewish identity to life for young people and families there. JAFI’s director for Latin and Central America shared how this work strengthens Jewish life across the region. The Federation’s Community Campaign helps make partnerships like this possible, from Pittsburgh to Mexico City to Israel and beyond.

Participants also sat down with leaders of Mexico City’s Jewish community, including the past president of Centro Deportivo Israelita and five Lions of Judah, women whose philanthropy sustains Jewish life in their own community and around the world. Different cities, different languages, the same commitment to caring for one another.
