JEWISH AGENCY

For more than 50 years, our local community has been served by Federation. United Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York was established in 1986 when the Greater Albany Jewish Federation consolidated with the Schenectady Jewish Federation. The Troy, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, and Glens Falls Jewish communities joined thereafter to make it a truly regional service agency... Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York is a voluntary, not-for-profit association of contributors, organizations, synagogues, and agencies. It serves the needs of the Jewish community, locally, nationally, and overseas, through cooperative action and coordinated fundraising. It blends varying elements in the community into a strong and cohesive Jewish entity. Part of Federation's strength derives from the differing viewpoints that are represented and expressed among the thousands of people who participate. The objective has always been unity, not uniformity.
