61st Anniversary • July 7

Celebrate 61 Years of Impact

Strengthening Jewish life yesterday, today, and for generations to come.

July 7 marks Jewish Federation of Orange County's 61st anniversary. For more than six decades, our community has come together to strengthen Jewish life, care for those in need, develop future leaders, support Israel, and ensure every generation has a place to belong.

This year, we're celebrating on 7/7 by inviting our community to make a gift in multiples of seven. Every act of generosity helps write the next chapter of our shared story.
