JFS Orlando’s mission and vision are guided by four principles of the Jewish faith.

One of those principles is Pikuach Nefesh, which roughly translates to “Saving a Life.” This principle says that the preservation of human life overrides all other religious commandments.

It’s just that important, and that value guides us as we help those in need in Central Florida.
