Israel & Our Global Family

When the state of Israel was created in 1948, the Federation system made a pledge to help support the security, safety and well being of its Jewish residents and immigrants. Our Federation is proud to continue to keep that promise—and to come to the aid of fellow Jews in 70 countries around the world. This giving center is for those who feel a passionate responsibility for Israel and our Global Family in need by supporting a wide-range of programs and services including those focused on hunger, re-settlement, poverty aid to victims of terror, Anti-Semitism, natural disasters and establishing a new life in Israel. They include, but are not limited to:
