The Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga offers programs, classes and exhibits, social services, and a preschool—all rooted in Jewish values. This enables the Jewish community to raise its visibility, foster relationships, and strengthen its identity in the Chattanooga area. Its programs are open to everyone regardless of religious affiliation.
