Welcome to your Columbia Jewish Federation

The mission of the Columbia Jewish Federation is to engage and strengthen our community to build a vibrant Jewish future.

Community Support

We provide financial support to the spectrum of Jewish organizations serving the Midlands, including the religious schools of our local synagogues; Hillel at the University of South Carolina; the Columbia Jewish Day School and the University of South Carolina Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter.

A Focus On Education

Your Federation runs the PJ Library program for young children, hosts the Columbia Holocaust Education Commission, features a thriving Young Adult Division and welcomes brand-new members of the community with the Shalom Baby! program.

Helping Those In Need

The Columbia Jewish Federation also houses Jewish Family Service, which provides a full range of social services and support to Jewish households facing hardship.
