Ithaca is a small city and town, but it has a diverse and vibrant Jewish community!
ITHACA AREA UNITED JEWISH COMMUNITY
Temple Beth El is affiliated with IAUJC. We are grateful for their support of our Religious School and our pre-school B'Yachad. IAUJC is an advocate for local Jewish organizations, as well as for the needs of Jews in Israel and other countries around the world. Since its founding just after the birth of the State of Israel in 1948, the IAUJC has raised funds, supported Israel and made grants to local Jewish organizations. In addition, it has sponsored educational and cultural activities in order to allow community members to celebrate traditions and learn how to help people in need.

IAUJC also funds the Teen Summer Experiences and Camp Initiative, providing campership funds for Tompkins County children and teens to attend Jewish summer camps and programs.
PJ LIBRARY
With support from IAUJC, PJ Library sends high-quality Jewish-content books and music on a monthly basis to children from birth to age 9 years.
