Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ Serving as the backbone of the Jewish community, we are uniquely positioned to connect the work of our 27 local and overseas partner agencies.

Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ convenes and leads our community to ensure the continuity and strength of the Jewish People, to support a secure Jewish and democratic State of Israel, and to care for Jews in need locally and around the world. As the largest Jewish philanthropy in New Jersey, Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest encompasses Essex, Morris, Sussex, Union, and parts of Somerset County. What we accomplish together, with the help of people like you, is far greater than what one organization or person can achieve alone. Inspired by the Jewish values of klal yisrael and tikkun olam — one Jewish people and repairing the world — Federation is the one organization that belongs to every Jew, regardless of practice or affiliation. We care for people in need. We build a vibrant Jewish community. We save the world, one person at a time, every day. All of Federation’s work is made possible by the generous contributions of Greater MetroWest community members to our UJA Annual Campaign and through the planned giving and endowment functions of our Jewish Community Foundation.

We strengthen our communities through the choices we make. The greatest tribute we can pay to those who rebuilt Jewish life before us is to continue their work. Because the true measure of Jewish resilience is not simply that we survive, but that we continue to care, create, build, celebrate, and flourish.

Shabbat Shalom.

Israel can feel thousands of miles away. Until you know someone who calls it home. 💙
Meet our Rishonim: six young Israelis spending a year in Greater MetroWest NJ, sharing their lives, traditions, perspectives, and plenty of personality along the way.

Over the next few weeks, we’re getting to know them a little better. And we’re bringing you with us.

Six people. Six stories. Let’s meet the Rishonim.

When you think about Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, what comes to mind?

Maybe it's Jewish education, community events, or supporting families in need. But Federation's work reaches into so many parts of Jewish life.

This year, together with our partner agencies, we helped support more than 50,000 community members, from young children discovering Jewish traditions to older adults receiving care and companionship.

Behind every number is a person, a family, or a neighbor whose life is better because someone cared.
