The S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation launched a new website aimed at creating a revitalized and engaged online center of Jewish life. 

Throughout www.jewishfed.org, users can learn how the federation catalyzes programs and services, fosters leadership, constructs funding strategies and provides resources for the Jewish community, from San Francisco to Israel.

New features include colored boxes that offer several topic-related bullet points. In the “Get Connected” box, for example, users can network with people who share similar interests, see the federation calendar, read the community guide and check out the latest events at the Israel Center. The home page has a photo slideshow with links to articles within the site.

“This website will be a platform for engaging our next generation,” CEO Jennifer Gorovitz said, “as well as showcasing our significant efforts in caring for the basic well-being of fellow human beings.”
