While it is likely that you will hear the occasional Shalom y all, it is more likely that you ll hear accents from East coast to west and around the world. New members of the community are drawn by the academic environment of Duke and University of North Carolina, the many small colleges and the growing health care system, university and private hospitals based in the region. We are also a community of new retirees that are likewise attracted by the world-class health care system and lifelong learning environment. All together, the region has become one of the more attractive areas in the country, both for the temperate environment and stimulating educational surroundings. In the years to come we hope to see not only new college campus facilities and new synagogue buildings, but expanded growth of our community Federation in our ongoing commitment to serve the needs of the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish community.
Federation is the place that builds community.
It introduces people of all ages to Jewish life and traditions. It comforts the needy and heals the sick. It makes dreams come true for thousands. It connects Jews across the street to Jews around the world. The Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation has been a part of the community since it first began in 1937.
