Meet Shelly Katz the new Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Western Ct.


Walzer Family Jewish Community CampusThe Federation

Situated in the historic district of Southbury is the Walzer Family Jewish Community Campus, home to both B’nai Israel and Beth El synagogues, and The Federation.

The pastoral setting is based in the bucolic Litchfield hills of western Connecticut, and features architectural design comprised of simple white clapboard buildings strung together like pearls. The front entrance to the building symbolically resembles a gate leading into the old city of Jerusalem, and was built with "Jerusalem stone" from Israel.

This idyllic location is the perfect backdrop to the programs, events and philanthropic pursuits that are housed within. In addition to administrative offices, The Federation facilities also include a large social hall, kosher kitchen, library/conference room, classrooms and a youth lounge.
