The Jewish Federation and Foundation's Shalom Northeast Florida is the official Jewish welcome wagon. The program’s reach extends from Amelia Island to Jacksonville to St. Augustine and all points in between. 

Our mission is to reach out to newcomers and anyone newly interested in Jewish life. Shalom Northeast Florida's goal is to engage our new friends, help them navigate the community, and connect them to our Jewish agencies, synagogues, schools, and groups that are most meaningful to them.

How we make a difference

Our public programs are casual, interesting and offer opportunities for newcomers to meet other newcomers and friendly locals. In addition, gatherings at private homes in different areas in Northeast Florida provide the perfect setting for newcomers to meet their new neighbors.

We also offer a personal touch. Shalom Northeast Florida volunteer ambassadors are out in the community personally welcoming, calling, guiding, and educating the newest among us. We are proud of the many long-lasting relationships that have been created through Shalom Northeast Florida. Please check out our Virtual Programs to be viewed in the comfort of your own home!
