ISRAEL & OUR GLOBAL FAMILY

The Jewish Agency For Israel (JAFI)- core funding: For 80 years, the Jewish Agency for Israel has rescued Jews at risk and resettled them in Israel. Initially, JAFI’s role was paramount in setting up an economic and cultural infrastructure for the country which was still struggling for survival. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, the Jewish Agency has facilitated the absorption of over one million new immigrants.

Today core funding continues to provide a lifeline to Jews around the world with assistance including: absorption and resettlement of new immigrants, establishing global partnerships to strengthen communities in Israel, empowering at-risk Israeli youth, educational assistance and scholarships, business loans to create employment opportunities, counseling for soldiers and civilians suffering from post-traumatic stress and immediate aid for victims of terror.

Our Federation also supports the following JAFI “elective” programs: P2K-Kiryat Bialik: Partnership 2000 (P2K) links the people and communal organizations in South Palm Beach County with Kiryat Bialik, a city in northern Israel (“our sister city”). The Partnership creates mutually beneficial relationships via the exchange of ideas, cooperation and participation in projects.

Summer Camps in FSU: Tens of thousands of youngsters are introduced to their Jewish heritage, connecting them to an Israel experience and a sense of belonging.

From a peak of 15,000 participants in 2003, that number dropped to 5,000 in 2009, a decrease of 65% due to the economic recession. This year, our Federation’s funding will allow about 170 children from Georgia to participate in a seven-day summer camp session which is supported almost exclusively through elective funding.

MASA Israel Journey: MASA seeks to establish a new norm in the Jewish community – to send large numbers of college graduates and young professionals to Israel for a longterm Israel experience (4-10 months) – indelibly impacting the future of Jewish life, the structure of Jewish communities around the world, and the connection between the next generation of young Jews and Israel. This flagship educational program seeks to recruit thousands of young Jews from abroad into one of 160 long-term programs in Israel.

Ben Yakir Youth Aliyah Village: Provides a warm, religiously-oriented home and school environment more than 120 boys at-risk— the majority of whom are Ethiopian immigrants ages 12-18. They are given food, shelter, clothing, medical care, as well as educational and therapeutic services. All activities are designed to foster selfconfidence, academic achievement and leadership skills with the goal of successfully integrating these youngsters into Israeli society.

Federation funding supports 56 NATIV immigrant soldiers this year.

Nativ Immigrant Soldier Identity Program: A comprehensive educational program that bolsters immigrant soldiers’ sense of connection with Israel and their Jewish heritage. Many of these soldiers are not recognized as Jews by the governmental and rabbinic agencies of Israel. This seven-week program enriches their knowledge of Jewish history and tradition. An extension is available to help those interested to prepare for formal conversion to Judaism.

PACT (Parents and Children Together) – Kiryat Yam: With no government agency responsible for the welfare of children in the early childhood age range, PACT addresses this need. Through interventions such as healthcare, after school programs, and at-home visits, PACT aims to close the educational and social gaps among children, and increase parental involvement. PACT typically supports about 135 Ethiopian-Israeli preschoolers, and 90 parents who are actively engaged.

FSU Welfare Relief for Elderly and Children in Georgia: The JDC provides humanitarian aid – food packages, medical care, hot meals, fresh food, home care, winter relief and more – to supplement the inadequate pensions of needy elderly, especially for many elderly Jews not eligible for restitution funds because they are not considered victims of Nazi persecution. Currently, 171 JDC-sponsored Hesed Welfare Centers provide a crucial link for 168,000 poor elderly Jews across the FSU. Additionally, approximately 860 Jewish children with serious material, educational, developmental and/or familial hardships are reached through JDC relief programs. additional elective programs Ethiopian National Project – SPACE (School Performance and Community Empowerment): Ethiopian-Israeli youth in Kiryat Bialik receive assistance to help achieve equal opportunity and enable them to reach their full potential. Since 2007, our funds have been earmarked for scholastic assistance activities (72 students) and a Youth Outreach Center (80 students).

CHAMAH: Humanitarian aid including medical and food assistance is provided to the elderly and homebound in the FSU. JDC Supports the Hesed programs run by CHAMAH. Our funding supplements their support allowing non-Holocast survivors to received aid. Program services include: soup kitchens, meals on wheels, supermarket food packages, food stamps and adult diapers.

“ Many recipients of Hesed services in the Former Soviet Union are people with college degrees, doctors, lawyers, and engineers who spent their lives working for the government and today cannot live on their meager pension and must depend on the mercy of others. So please convey a message to your donors that they are literally saving lives.”

CHAMAH President Rabbi Hillel Zaltzman
