The second-annual Jewish Community Heroes campaign organized by The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) celebrates the selflessness and courage of those who put others before themselves. This is the Houston community’s opportunity to shine a national spotlight on our unsung heroes, whether their work impacts five people or 5,000.  Houston submitted over 26 nominees and over 1,000 Houstonians voted for their Hero.
                                      Visit Houston's Heroes page.      Nominate your hero today!

When Jewish families tried to escape the Soviet Union, they often fled with little more than a few dollars and a suitcase. They had nowhere to turn...nobody to help them.
So the Jewish Federations of North America, raised $1 billion to support Operation Exodus, the rescue and resettlement of 1 million Soviet Jews from 1990 to 1997.

Today, those families are living in Israel and throughout North America. They’re our friends, our families, our neighbors.

Please visit our Operation Exodus page, which includes a timeline, historic photos, educational resources and remembrances from those involved in Operation Exodus and to read stories of lives changed.

Through the PJ Library Program, the Federation’s Bureau of Jewish Education reaches out to Jewish families with young children to help foster their children’s curiosity about their Jewish heritage and helps families explore their Jewish identity. Learn more and register by Clicking Here.
