The Charleston Jewish Federation is the heart and soul of Charleston Jewry's philanthropic and humanitarian activities. It embodies a 3,500-year-old tradition of caring that goes back to the giving of the Torah and sustains us in the bold pursuit of Jewish community, Jewish values and Jewish peoplehood. The mission of the Charleston Jewish Federation is to build, strengthen, and preserve Jewish identity and the needs of the community through partnerships that enable us to serve the needs of our local Jewish community, Israel, and worldwide. We will accomplish this mission by: * Convening the community and facilitating collaboration * Advocating for and allocating human resources * Supporting Jewish identity and educational programs for the entire community * Broadening opportunities for philanthropy through financial resource development and coordination of funding sources * Developing leaders for the Jewish community of Charleston
