The Website of The Jewish Federation of Greater Baton Rouge.
As the center of Jewish philanthropy and volunteerism in the Baton Rouge and surrounding area, we are a person-to-person, community-driven organization dedicated to the health, education, spiritual, and cultural identity of the Jewish people worldwide.
Through the Annual Campaign drive, and in partnership with United Jewish Communities, the Jewish Federation of Greater Baton Rouge raises and allocates funds to provide life-saving and life-enhancing humanitarian assistance to those in need, and to translate Jewish values into social action on behalf of the Jews in the area. Locally, the Federation supports a variety of agencies and schools. Additionally, funding provided by the Jewish Federation of Greater Baton Rouge impacts the lives of thousands of Jews and non-Jews.
There are many ways to contribute and participate in the vital work of this Jewish organization. We invite you to explore this website for opportunities that may be of interest and to contact us for more information.

Unfortunately, at this time, Israel is in crisis and the threat to the people of Israel continues to escalate as people are killed, dozens are injured, and thousands have been evacuated from their homes and forced into bomb shelters. Among these are those who are especially vulnerable - children, elderly and disabled individuals in need of aid and assistance in relocating, and recent immigrants from Ethiopia, who already face enormous challenges settling into their new homes.
United Jewish Communities (UJC) in collaboration with local federations across North America has launched the Israel Crisis Fund. The Jewish Federation of Baton Rouge has joined this campaign.
NOW more than ever, your help is needed to assist in providing humanitarian aid and services to our fellow Jews. Funds are urgently needed to
- bring thousands of children from Northern Israel to safer areas to attend one-week summer camps, giving them a respite from the attacks and life in the bomb shelters
- aid the elderly and disabled by offering intervention programs in day-care centers
- provide trauma relief and direct support programs such as counseling
- support those living in evacuation centers
All funds received will be used to provide humanitarian support; no administrative costs will be taken from the funds.
