Emergency Fund Launched to Support the People of Israel
Israel is at war, and in response to the overwhelming – and rapidly escalating – scope of the crisis, UJA-Federation of New York is allocating an initial $10 million in emergency funding from its endowment to provide immediate relief to victims of the vicious terrorist attacks.
Right now, the thousands of victims include hundreds of bereaved families, those coping with the unimaginable horror of loved ones having been taken hostage, and children who lost both parents. This is a crisis the likes of which Israel has not seen in half a century.
To help with the immense needs, UJA-Federation has also launched an Israel Emergency Fund to raise the necessary resources to support UJA nonprofit partners proving critical aid to the people of Israel. To donate, go to www.ujafedny.org/israel-emergency-fund.
In New York, Community Security Initiative, a partnership of UJA-Federation and JCRC-NY, is working to strengthen and protect local Jewish institutions in collaboration with local law enforcement agencies.
