What we do


For thousands of years, the Jewish people have had a tradition of taking care of those in need. That tradition continues through the Minneapolis Jewish Federation. Every day, our work is felt by millions, both here in Minneapolis and throughout the world.

Working with our partner agencies, the Federation nurtures and educates our children, maintains and strengthens Jewish families, brings comfort and care to the elderly, and reinforces our connection to the worldwide Jewish community.

The Federation conducts research needed to identify our community's most pressing needs and engages the community in strategic planning to meet those challenges collectively. Learn more.
