Our Mission
“To strengthen Jewish life and identity in our community, provide for Jewish people in need, and promote support for Israel.”
At JFSM, we strive to strengthen Jewish life and identity in our community, provide for Jewish people in need, and promote support for Israel. We seek to build a safe and secure Jewish community and counter antisemitism through education. We honor our traditions yet are unrelenting in our pursuit of progress.
We are at a transformative moment in the life of our growing Federation, full of opportunity and significance for us and for generations to come. Our vision is a safe, innovative, and inclusive campus that engages community members of all ages and backgrounds in meaningful educational and recreational opportunities. Our campus is a vibrant location which serves as a safe and secure hub of community building, an oasis of learning and respectful exchange, and an incubator space for arts and ideas.
The hub of our campus is The Ora at the Morganroth Event Center, our region’s newest and most versatile event venue.
Our state-of-the-art facility features the 10,000 square foot Kaplan Ballroom, as well as the gorgeous Mitchell Welcome Lobby, light-filled Moravitz Terrace Room, spacious Event Plaza, Stuhlburg Gallery and more. The Ora offers the best in technology, acoustics, and lighting, with enough flexibility to make it the ideal location for life celebrations, corporate events, and live entertainment whether you are hosting 10, 100, or 1000 guests. The multi-use complex will have over 400 parking spaces, providing ease of use for guests. Our exclusive catering partner, Michael’s On East, will provide both stellar cuisine and impeccable service in our 28,000-square-foot Center.
