Generation to Generation – For one hundred years, the Jewish Community Federation has been part of the Bay Area Jewish community’s heritage of philanthropy. This heritage, so much a part of the values we hold dear, has been handed down from generation to generation – L’dor V’dor – to us today. It is central to Jewish heritage, connects us as a people and provides great meaning to our lives. And it ensures that generations to come will have the opportunity to experience the richness of Jewish practice, culture and life.
