Community Resources
As the horrifying situation in Israel continues to evolve, we all want to do what we can to help.
Organizations in need of donations (assure 100% goes to those in need):
The Association for Spiritual Care in Israel
Jewish Federations of North America
World Union for Progressive Judaism
Michael & Susan Dell and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation have generously created a $1.8M matching opportunity for our community to support the JFNA Israel Emergency Campaign. To expedite the allocation of resources, all donations will be given directly to Jewish Federations of North America. The donation form also includes instructions for mailing a check or making a grant request from a Donor Advised Fund. Please note in the memo line of the check that this donation is from AUSTIN.
