JCAL, the Jewish Community Alliance of Lancaster, is the collection of Jewish organizations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Working with the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), JCAL supports Jewish life in Lancaster, in Israel and all around the world.
In Lancaster, we help our students go to Jewish summer camp, Israel, and other immersive Jewish experiences. We host an annual community Chanukah celebration and Yom HaShaoh commemoration, and concerts with popular Jewish musicians. Speakers from around the world come to Lancaster to help all of us understand Jewish life in Israel, Ukraine and all areas supported by JCAL and JFNA.
In Israel and everywhere in the world Jews live, JCAL partners with JFNA, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the American Joint Distribution Committee to assist Holocaust survivors in Israel living in poverty, help Jews living in war zones, and bring Israeli Shlichim (emissaries) to American summer camps and Jewish communities to educate everyone about real life in Israel.
