How to Find Jewish Resources Near You

Directories for locating synagogues and other Jewish institutions in your area.

Whether you are looking for a synagogue, Jewish community centers or other ways to connect to Judaism in real life, here are several directories that can assist you in your search.

Jewish Organizations

Jewish Federation Finder 
A Jewish federation is the central Jewish philanthropy in most communities, raising and allocating funds for a wide range of programs and agencies. Most Jewish federations can help you locate other Jewish institutions, such as schools, summer camps, social service providers, synagogues and senior homes in your community. Many can also help you find Jewish businesses, such as kosher restaurants and Jewish funeral homes, in your area.

Jewish Community Center Finder 
Jewish community centers, often referred to as JCCs or as “Jewish Ys” offer a range of facilities, classes and programs. They welcome non-Jewish, as well as Jewish, members.

Jewish Publications
In most cities with a sizable Jewish populations, at least one local Jewish newspaper is published weekly or monthly. For national or international Jewish news, we recommend you visit our partner site JTA. Note that this directory, maintained by the American Jewish Press Association, does not contain contact information and also lists the names of local Jewish freelance journalists.
