Program areas at MJF

The Jewish community foundation helps donors make a long-term impact on the vibrancy and financial stability of our community. Through a variety of planned giving options, we help our donors fulfill both their financial needs and charitable desires while supporting the health of a thriving Jewish community.
The nathan and esther pelz holocaust education resource center (herc) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is dedicated to holocaust remembrance, education, and the preservation of the memory of its victims. By teaching about the holocaust, the holocaust education resource center aims to promote awareness of the evils of hatred and prejudice and to inspire ethical behavior. Herc taught the lessons of the holocaust to approximately 27,000 students, teachers and community members throughout Wisconsin last year.
The Jewish museum Milwaukee is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the Jewish people in southeastern Wisconsin and celebrating the continuum of Jewish heritage and culture. The history of american jews is rooted in thousands of years of searching for freedom and equality. We are committed to sharing this story and the life lessons it brings with it, so that we may enhance the public's awareness and appreciation of Jewish life and culture; to build bridges between people of diverse backgrounds, and to use history and art as a lens to explore contemporary themes.
The mission of "the chronicle" is to provide news of a local, national and international character so as to foster a sense of community within the Jewish population in Wisconsin, provide information and interpretation concerning Jewish life that is not available through local and national media, create a forum for hearing those issues of a local, national and international nature that are important to jews, and to support the publisher. The Milwaukee Jewish Federation in its community-building goal of promoting awareness of and support for the value of Jewish community, serves as a communications vehicle through which local organizations, agencies and synagogues can report to their constituencies and to the Jewish community in general and through which they can publicize their activities, record community events and life cycle events through articles and photographs, so as to act as a history of the community, and maintain an advertising medium for reaching the Jewish population.
Other programs include partnership2gether and the schlichut program, which play a key role in ensuring ongoing cultural and personal contact between the Milwaukee Jewish community and israel, with a focus on the region of the sovev kinneret. Milwaukee Jewish Federation program services also include the coalition for Jewish learning (cjl), the education program of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
