Whenever and wherever disaster strikes, Jewish Federation is there to help. Funds collected through emergency campaigns go directly to help victims and their families through our long-standing partners the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI).
We provide a lifeline for Jews and non-Jews in distress, at home, in Israel and across the globe. Whether it’s in response to attacks on synagogues and Jewish life, missiles raining down on Israel’s south, Hurricane Harvey in Houston or the COVID-19 global pandemic, Federation is there to help — and to rebuild.
ISRAEL NEEDS YOU:
OPERATION SWORDS OF IRON
On October 7, 2023, terrorists launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza, firing thousands of rockets, breaching the country’s borders, killing dozens of Israelis, and wounding hundreds more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel was at war to defend itself and gave the order for the IDF to commence "Operation Swords of Iron.”
We pray for their safety and will do everything we can to ensure the complete and total success of their efforts. And once again the Jewish Federations across North America will act immediately and comprehensively to support our brothers and sisters as they defend Israel.
