The Jewish Federation of Omaha Impacts Jewish Lives
In Omaha, Campaign dollars support the ADL/CRC, the Jewish Community
Center, the Center for Jewish Life, Jewish Social Services including the
Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, Jewish Family Service and Jewish Senior
Services, as well as Federation programs such as scholarships for Jewish
experiences, missions to Israel, Birthright Israel, our
Partnership2Gether, grants for summer camps and Israel programs.
Along with improving Jewish life in Omaha, the Jewish Federation of
Omaha also has a responsibility to Jews around the world. Approximately
1/3rd of our contributions go beyond our own community to rescue and
revitalize Jews all over the world who are in peril and have nowhere
else to turn.
