Jewish Healing combines ancient traditions with modern tools to ensure that Jews feel connected to their community when facing death, illness, loss and isolation.
JFS partners with a wide range of Jewish religious denominations & congregations to offer support services drawn from the values and resources of Jewish faith.
Our collaborators include Congregation B’nai Shalom, Congregation Havurah, Jewish Discovery Center, Kehillat Ohr Zion, Temple Beth Am, Temple Beth El (Niagara Falls), Temple Beth Tzedek, Temple Sinai, and Temple Beth Zion. Jewish Federation of Buffalo, Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo and the Bureau of Jewish Education have also lent their support to this important project.
