Our growing and thriving Jewish community of over 12,000 offers an abundance of schools, synagogues, agencies, and organizations, each providing unique ways to engage with our community.
We welcome everyone warmly and strive to enrich the lives of every community member, be it a family, couple, individual, affiliated or unaffiliated with Judaism, LGBTQ+, or interfaith. We are dedicated to greeting all newcomers with kindness and sincerity and are delighted to welcome you to Jewish Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien.
Federation is committed to unifying the Jewish community through the planning and coordination of community resources, support of Jewish education for all ages, a strong fundraising campaign, and judicious allocations.
UJF’s mission is centered around a community built on the Jewish ideal of tzedakah: charity, righteousness, and social justice. Our support for the programs of our local agencies and the humanitarian work of Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) enriches local, national, and international Jewish life.
We welcome everyone, with no membership required, opening our gates to all Jews in the spirit of inclusivity and community.

We can’t wait to meet you! Please reach out with any questions you have about our community.
