The Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL)
​supports, connects, and celebrates Jewish life in the South.

The ISJL delivers programs and services directly to communities, no matter how small. The services we provide range from rabbinical visits to congregations with no rabbis of their own, to community engagement opportunities, historical preservation and cultural programs, and an education program that serves thousands of students.
