About this Community

The mission of The Greater Altoona Jewish Federation seeks to embody the core tradition of Tzedakah, righteousness, and social justice. Mindful that "each Jew is responsible one for the other," the Federation shall act as a cohesive force among the local Jewish organizations, shall create a climate of respect for the diversity of Jewish ideas and practices, and shall be a Jewish voice in working with the larger community.

We foster continuity and growth while seeking to preserve and strengthen Jewish life. We study, plan, and provide for the present and future social, education, cultural, and welfare needs of the local Jewish community. We support Israel as well as American and World Jewry. We raise, allocate, and disburse the resources needed to meet the Federation's goals.
