Give Today
We take very seriously the need to be vigilant to ensure the safety of all members of the local Jewish community, as well as all members and guests of our agencies. We also work with area synagogues to ensure the safety of those worshiping. Security has always been a vital part of the work of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation, work from which we will never waver. In light of the recent threat to our community, the need is even greater. If you would like to give specifically to support security at the Federation, its agencies, and area Temples, please click the image.
