We are deeply grateful for our partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America and for the continued generosity of local Jewish Federations through their annual allocations.*
This year, we proudly launched Volunteer in Israel — a new initiative in collaboration with the Jewish Federations of North America — offering Jewish adults a powerful opportunity to contribute meaningfully to Israeli society. By volunteering, Jews around the world not only support Israel’s resilience but also strengthen their own connection to Jewish identity and purpose.
