Israel Impact

Jewish Federation cares for the most vulnerable people in Israel by investing in programs providing food, social services, physical, mental, and educational rehabilitation, and more. With our help, teens at risk of addiction, abuse, and mental illness got back on track. Children from the Ethiopian community, who were barely getting by in school, are now star pupils. Observant children as young as 10 became empowered to overcome sexual abuse.
