Fort Lauderdale Community
Not long ago, East Fort Lauderdale was home to just a small number of Jewish residents. Today, it’s a vibrant and growing community, shaped by an expanding mix of business, arts, and culture.
As more people move to South Florida, the Eastside, once known mainly for its beaches and tourism, is becoming a hub for technology, real estate, and new opportunities. Young professionals, families, and empty nesters are bringing new energy and helping the community grow in exciting ways. The Jewish Federation of Broward County is proud to engage the Eastside community offering programs and connection that enrich lives, and strengthen Jewish Broward. Whether you're new to the area or have been here for years, there’s a place for you—and we’re excited to have you part of it.
