Strengthening Jewish communities in Israel and around the world has always been—and remains—a top priority for the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester. The Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester makes this possible by sustaining a vibrant people-to-people connection with Modi'in, Israel through Partnership2Gether, allocating funds to humanitarian organizations in collective support of world Jewry, and facilitating travel to and study in Israel.

Rochester's Annual Campaign for Jewish Needs helps Jews in Rochester, Israel, and globally:

• Jewish Agency for Israel focuses on three strategic areas: aliyah, connecting Jews worldwide (through programs such as ShinShinim and Partnership2Gether), and strengthening Israeli society.
   
• American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee saves Jewish lives and builds Jewish life by providing aid to vulnerable Jews, cultivating a Jewish future, creating opportunities for all Israelis, leading the Jewish response to global crises, and rescuing Jews in danger. 
   
• World ORT is a global network driven by Jewish values, which promotes education and training in Jewish communities worldwide.
