Uniting the Jewish Community
Through Purposeful Impact
Who we are
Rooted in the belief that local communities have the power to create lasting change, CFJF serves as a trusted platform connecting the Central Florida Jewish community through innovative, solution-driven initiatives.
Our mission is simple, but impactful: to inspire positive action that strengthens the fabric of Jewish life in Central Florida, one person and one family at a time. From supporting students to assisting families, CFJF is here to make Jewish values and traditions accessible to everyone in our region.
Our Pillars
Our pillars were shaped by listening. We spoke with community members, read their stories, and paid close attention to what was missing and what mattered most. We heard the longing for deeper connection, the worry about affordability, and the hope for a stronger, more unified Jewish future. From those honest conversations and lived experiences, our pillars naturally emerged: a commitment to building trust in our community’s future, uplifting local efforts, making resources accessible to everyone, and creating a foundation that feels like home. These pillars reflect our heart. They are our promise to walk hand-in-hand with this community, every step of the way.
Financial Empowerment & Business Resources
Ezra is a division of CFJF that provides small, interest-free loans to individuals in Central Florida’s Jewish community facing temporary financial hardship with a mission of promoting stability, and dignity for those in need.
