what we do
Strengthen Our Local Community
We believe all Jews share a fundamental connection—that’s what we call Jewish peoplehood. And it’s this core belief that underpins our efforts to strengthen our global community.
We are committed to fostering unity among Jews, regardless of borders—geographic, religious, or ethnic. We forge strong bonds and new relationships among the Jewish people globally, with an emphasis on American–Israeli relations. And we help build integrated Jewish communities that see themselves as part of the Jewish people. We help Jews connect to a strong, vibrant, democratic Israel. And we build ties among Jewish communities in Fort Worth & Tarrant County, in Israel, and beyond to strengthen our global community.

The Fort Worth Jewish Archives
The Fort Worth Jewish Archives preserves and shares the history of Fort Worth’s Jewish community, from the first settlers in the 1850s to the present day. Housed at Congregation Ahavath Sholom and Beth-El Congregation, our collections include hundreds of photographs, thousands of documents, and unique treasures such as handwritten Yiddish minutes (1892–1939), WWII letters from Jewish soldiers, and the 48-star flag that draped the coffin of a Jewish GI in 1945. Together, these materials tell the story of Jewish life, faith, and contribution in Fort Worth.
