The United Jewish Council is proud to be a part of or help support many organizations in the Greater Toledo area.

The Council is guided by the core values of Judaism: "Tzedakah" - justice, charity and righteousness; "Tikkun Olam" - restoring the world; and "Gemulit Chassidim" - acts of loving-kindness. It is our mission to support and enhance the health, welfare, education, spiritual life, unity and continuity of the Jewish community of Toledo, the surrounding areas and KIal Yisrael - the world community of Israel, with services and programming consistent with Jewish values.

Our vision is one of unity of the entire Jewish people, inspiring a dynamic partnership with a family of congregations, agencies, organizations and individuals locally and throughout the world.
