It is our goal at United Jewish Federation of Tidewater to foster a sense of pride in our Jewish heritage, and to ensure all Jews live with dignity, from Tidewater to Eastern Europe, Israel and around the world. We make a difference by helping support and enrich lives through our commitment to Judaism.

The work of the Federation represents our community's most generous tradition: to give to others, even in the most difficult times.

It is the commitment of United Jewish Federation to respect the individual and different expressions of Judaism and Jewish life; to welcome interfaith and other forms of non-traditional Jewish families; to promote intergroup understanding, religious freedom, and tolerance; to develop and nurture superlative lay leaders and staff; to maintain a standard of excellence and transparency in fulfilling our fiduciary responsibilities; and to cultivate collaborative planning and collective action.
