Put Your Values in Action with a Gift to JFEDLA Today!

We put our shared Jewish values in action to make our voices heard on issues you care about most, and meet the growing needs of the Jewish community here in Los Angeles, Israel, and around the world.

When you make your gift, you build a stronger and brighter Jewish L.A. Together, we protect our community from antisemitic threats, inspire Jewish journeys, and care for the most vulnerable through a social services safety net.

For more information, you can reach me at BFinney-Conlon@jewishla.org or (323) 761-8229.

To make your contribution via check, please make payment out to “JFEDLA” and mail to JFEDLA, PO Box 54269, Los Angeles, CA 90054-0269. To make your contribution by phone, please call (323) 761-8200.

Please give today.
