Reconstructing the scope
Read from the navigation, sidebars and section pages preserved in earlier captures between 2004 and 2007. These are placeholders — not present-day programs — and are offered to give a sense of the public-facing scope of the work at the time.
For current programs and contact information, visit the active federation at jewishpgh.org.
In the era this site documents, the federation coordinated a network of member agencies — family services, senior care, education, vocational support — distributed across western Pennsylvania.
A broad portfolio: Jewish day school support, cultural programming, the Pittsburgh Jewish–Israeli Film Festival, and the long-running Jewish Chronicle newspaper that the federation helped establish in the 1960s.
Fundraising and programming for Israel and Jewish communities abroad — visible in the site's navigation as "Israel and Overseas" and "Mission Aviv," and tied into the federation's Partnership 2000 framework.
The central fundraising apparatus — pooled giving distributed across the federation system. The site's sidebars repeatedly invited the visitor to "Donate Now" or "Stretch Your Dollar."
Where the work lives now
The community-facing work continued under a new name and a new domain. For 2026 programming, leadership, calendar, ways to give, and any official statement on community matters, see jewishpgh.org.
For the historical record — bylaws, board minutes, photographs from the 20th century — the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center is the canonical source.
