Savannah Jewish Federation

A Helping Hand

• Helping Jews Throughout the World
• Jewish Family Services
• The Jewish Educational Loan Fund

The Federation does its work through its committee structure, which, since its beginning in 1943 as a fund-raising organization, has grown more sophisticated, encompassing more and more services.

The Federation/United Jewish Communities Annual Campaign each year involves a hundred active volunteers who solicit financial contributions from members of the Jewish community to support local and national Jewish needs. The most recent campaign raised over $1.3 million - to help ensure a thriving Jewish community in Savannah and around the world.

The Allocation Committee oversees distribution of the money raised to Jews in need in Savannah, in Israel, and other locations abroad. Federation funds support: The Jewish Educational Alliance, Rambam Day School, Shalom School, Hebrew Community School, as well as other local and national Jewish organizations.

Through the Community Relations Council (CRC), the Savannah Jewish Federation, chaired by Dr. Paul Kulbersh, sought an active and public political role in response to the unceasing terror assaults on Israel by Palestinian terrorists and the alarming increase in anti-Semitic rhetoric in Europe and Africa.
