Our Mission

Jewish Federation’s mission is to build community by strengthening and enhancing Jewish life.

Jewish Federation does this by providing programs and services that support the needs of the Jewish community in our region and acts as the Jewish voice on issues that affect the greater Jewish community.

Building Community, Enhancing Jewish Life

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS SERVING THE GREATER SAN GABRIEL AND POMONA VALLEYS

On Sunday, July 23, the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys began its 31st year as an organization with a goal to strengthen and enhance Jewish life in our area and serve as the Jewish voice in, and for, our community.

Since our inception back in 1993, together with people like you, who have provided incredible financial support, our Jewish Federation has positively impacted the lives of so many in our community through the tremendous local support we have received from community members like you.

Because of you, hundreds of children’s Jewish identity have been strengthened through the experiences and connections they made through Camp Gan Shalom, Shabbaton, PJ Library, and more. Because of you, our community has been able to celebrate the richness and beauty Judaism has to offer, creating opportunities for all of us to connect through programs like the Jewish Book Festival, Cultural Arts, Festival in the Park, Jewish Food Festival, and more. Because of you, our Jewish Federation has ensured there is a strong and vibrant Jewish presence, able to respond to the challenges our community has faced over the years.

None of this would be possible without the support we have received from the community. Help us revel in all of what we have accomplished…together. We have planned a year full of spe­cial programs and activities to mark this special moment in our community’s history, including a special 30th Anniversary Celebration brunch on Sunday, June 23. Our 30th Anniversary celebration is highlighted in our upcoming Federation FOCUS newsletter, which will be mailed out by the middle of August.
