OUR VISION
A Model Jewish Community at the tip of Africa; Engaged, Connected, Vibrant, Thriving, and Well Cared for.
OUR PURPOSE
To Connect with all Jewish people and inspire them to become philanthropists who support the community.
Diverse community. Single-minded goal.
The UJC is responsible for funding 50% of the community’s needs through 36 beneficiary organisations that uphold all aspects of Jewish life in Cape Town. Each donation is more than just financial support; it’s an investment in our very special Cape Town Jewish Community. Our mission is to ensure that every member of the community is nurtured, educated, employed, and supported, regardless of the challenges they may face.
Our Community Celebrated.
Our 2026 campaign begins with a powerful new video celebrating the strength and spirit of the Cape Town Jewish community.
It’s a snapshot of the people and organisations who sustain Jewish life in our city.
What we have here exists because people care – and because we build it together.
Watch the video and be part of the 2026 campaign.
Community: Activated.
Experience a day in the life of four of our incredible beneficiaries.
What does being Activated look like? It’s not just about being aware, it’s about action. It’s about contributing our time, resources, and ideas to build a flourishing community.
This is more than a call to action—it’s a call to purpose.
Together, let’s make 2025 the year we become more than a community.
Let’s become a community, activated.
Community: United.
What’s special about Cape Town’s Jewish Community? What’s your favourite Jewish Food? Your favourite song? Jewish phrase? These and other light-hearted and meaningful questions were answered in our new video. New friendships made and old ones rekindled, all whilst honouring the community that brings us together.
