Watch our community shine in a singing experience like no other!
As part of our 2021 Annual Campaign, the Jewish Federation of Omaha worked with Koolulam, to virtually produce a music video starring some of our community members.
This video serves as a reminder that, despite social isolation, Jewish Omaha is still very much TOGETHER. We hope that the FACES of our community will INSPIRE you and remind you of the STRENGTH our community holds.

|
The Jewish Federation of Omaha's 2021 Annual Campaign theme "Imagine Tomorrow" allows us to dream of our BRIGHT future while also focusing on our ESSENTIAL role of responding to our community's needs.
Every day the Jewish Federation of Omaha and its agencies - The Staenberg Omaha Jewish Community Center, Jewish Social Services: The Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Senior Outreach, The Jewish Federation of Omaha Foundation, The Anti-Defamation League/ CRC, Institute for Holocaust Education and The Jewish Press - provide important services, support and assistance to our community.
