Jewish Federation of Springfield

The Jewish Federation of Springfield, IL stands in solidarity with the people of Israel during these harrowing times. We are deeply grieved and profoundly concerned by the ongoing crisis that has engulfed our extended family in Israel.

As a sovereign country, Israel has every right to defend itself and take whatever actions are necessary to protect its people from a neighboring territory that is governed by terrorists, who seek the destruction of the Jewish State. Sadly, the coming days will bring even more violence, death, and destruction, as Israel once again seeks to secure its borders from hostile neighbors who violate every norm of civilized international engagement and human decency.

The first performance of our Violins of Hope Concert Series is tomorrow night at 6:30pm at the Illinois State Museum! See all the performances listed on our website below.
