What is Federation?

The Tampa Jewish Federation’s annual campaign is the engine that drives the support of Jews locally and worldwide. The TJF is one of 155 federations across North America, that raise a combined $1 billion each year to address urgent needs in local communities, in Israel and in 60 countries. According to Jewish tradition, the highest form of tzedakah or charity is giving to a central campaign or community fund or kupah.

The Jewish Federations of North America support The Jewish Agency's Aliyah and Absorption Department, which is working to help members of Ethiopia’s Falas Mura community immigrate to Israel. JAFI recently greeted the first flight of Falas Mura since August, 2008 and in the next year will help 2,600 immigrate. The immigrants will live in Jewish Agency absorption centers, where they will receive services to help them integrate into Israeli society. For details click here.
