Israel and International Jewry
As rockets continue to fall on the strategic and vulnerable city of Sderot, we are continuing to provide emergency assistance. Last year, your donation to UJA Campaign contributed to upgrading and repairing bomb shelters, providing emergency assistance to the elderly and infirm, moving more than 70,000 children out of harm’s way and providing trauma and grief counselling to those in need. In addition, for the second straight year, Camp Kadimah brought two teenagers from the Sderot area to enjoy a wonderful summer in Nova Scotia.
Throughout the world, Jews and Jewish communities are faced with problems that make them particularly vulnerable. Through our network of registered partners, UJA is able to provide important and often urgent services to vulnerable communities worldwide. Together, we provide a lifeline to almost 300,000 impoverished Jewish seniors in the former Soviet Union. In Israel, we support educational and vocational programs for vulnerable communities and provide over 1,000 youth-at-risk with housing and counseling opportunities.
Your gift to the UJA Campaign protects children in Israel’s periphery communities and promises a better future for the most vulnerable members of our Israeli family.
