“We love JFS’ philosophy of opening their doors to anyone struggling.”
Karla Steinberg
.…speaking at the groundbreaking for Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas’ new nonprofit home, The Karla and Larry Steinberg Building in Addison.
For nearly 75 years, Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas (JFS) has provided critical services to those in need.

But lately it’s been “bursting at the seams” in its home in Far North Dallas. That’s about to change, though—thanks to the recent groundbreaking of The Karla and Larry Steinberg Building, JFS’ new 100,000-square-foot home at 16301 Quorum Dr. in Addison.
