United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh

Since its founding in 1912, the United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh has been at the catalyst for building and strengthening the Jewish Community of Pittsburgh. Through its planning and fund-raising efforts, the UJF has worked to enhance the quality of life for all members of the Jewish community -- in every stage of life, in Pittsburgh, Israel and throughout the world. The UJF has led the Pittsburgh Jewish community through times of prosperity and times of turmoil, through periods of unprecedented economic growth and the horrors of the Holocaust, and through the joy of Israel's birth and the trauma of her wars. In the spirit of tikkun olam, the healing and repair of the world, the UJF has addressed the needs of families and community in the context of Jewish values and traditions. To that end the UJF works with partner agencies dedicated to the same ideals. Through funding, joint evaluation and coordination of services, the UJF and its partners provide a complete network of health, education, social and cultural services.
