THE GUIDE
to Everything Jewish in the
Greater Philadelphia Area
JEWISH FEDERATION OFFICES
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
The rang e of services offered by the Jewish community for its members and
for the general public is varied and wide-ranging, with the community priding
itself on offering high-quality services. Though it is not possible to provide
for all needs in all parts of the Greater Philadelphia area, the organized Jewish
community hopes that people will take advantage of available programs and
services to which they are entitled. Almost all Jewish communal agencies charge
fees on a sliding-scale basis or make other provisions for assisting those with
limited financial means. Residents of the five-county region are eligible to use
these services, as are local college students, visitors and members of the armed
services stationed nearby.
