Welcome to New Orleans. We are so glad that you are considering relocating to New Orleans. We have a vibrant Jewish Community and we’re looking forward to greeting 1,000 new families within the next 5 years.
Optimistic? Yes, but with good reason. We have created one of the most impressive Newcomer Incentive Programs that any community has to offer. Residents of New Orleans have a unique opportunity to play a part in rebuilding one of the richest cultural and historically significant cities in the U.S.
The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans, with the support of many other Jewish Agencies, has assembled an array of benefits for Newcomers including assistance with employment and housing search, moving and housing grants, interest free business or home loans, discounted tuition to New Orleans Jewish Day School, complimentary memberships provided by local synagogues, the Jewish Community Center, Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Women, JDate, JRetro Match, and so much more.
We are also working to meet our Newcomers' social networking needs. We host periodic parties to introduce Newcomers to all the Jewish agencies, Synagogue, and social groups our community has to offer. We have an active Young Adult Division, Hadassah, Men’s Clubs and other opportunities to help Newcomers make friends and feel at home in their new city. We are also working on a program to pair Newcomers with “Hosts” who can be a friend as well as a resource for any questions or concerns they may have about the city or community
