Strengthening Jewish Communities in Ithaca and Beyond
Ithaca Area United Jewish Community is building a strong Jewish future in Ithaca by providing programming for our youth, helping Jews in need and forging connections with Israel. To achieve these goals, IAUJC raises and allocates more than $100,000 each year to Jewish organizations in Ithaca and nonprofits in Israel and the former Soviet Union.
