The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore works to enhance Jewish life. It addresses charitable, educational, religious, humanitarian, health, cultural and social service needs of the Jewish community locally, nationally, in Israel and throughout the world. Our vision is of our people living and working together to experience the power and joy of Jewish life as active participants in a vibrant and vital Jewish community. We believe that this vision is achievable through careful planning by The Associated in partnership with the agencies we fund and the many other institutions that devote themselves to the enrichment of Jewish life in Baltimore Ð our communityÕs synagogues, schools, community centers, government and so forth.
