The Jewish Federation of Madison, established in 1940, is a part of the Jewish Federations of North America, a nationwide humanitarian network that serves millions of Jews and non-Jews around the world. They support over 20 essential local programs and agencies, including preschools, high schools, community centers, and social services, while also providing rescue, relief, and development programs to Jewish communities in need in Israel and 70 other countries.
Their mission is to inspire, build, and sustain vibrant Jewish life by fostering diverse opportunities to connect at every age and mobilizing the community in common purpose, both in Madison, Israel, and globally. With a history dating back to the early 1850s, the Madison Jewish community now consists of over 5,000 individuals, excluding the estimated 5,000 students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
