UJA - Federation of New York

  • Mission:We care for those in need, strengthen the Jewish people, and inspire a passion for Jewish life and learning. Caring is about the warm embrace of community. We're enabling Jews to overcome crises, cope with the struggles of everyday life, and achieve self-sufficiency. Our caring hand extends to the poor, the elderly, Holocaust survivors, children and adults with disabilities and special needs, and the unemployed across the economic spectrum. We provide access to crucial human services to all New Yorkers, whoever they are, and Jews everywhere. Strengthening is about Jewish peoplehood. We're connecting Jews around the world to one another, building unity and fostering a sense of collective responsibility. For Jews facing adversity and untold hardship, we're a lifeline and a way home — a reminder that we are all part of one people — never alone and never forgotten. Inspiring is about Jewish education and identity. Our goal is to impart the Jewish values that inform everything we do — and to improve access to quality Jewish education. We're reinvigorating the institutions that help shape Jewish life. Opening doors to Jews of every background. Teaching the next generation of communal leaders. Creating powerful learning experiences for children and adults. We're building the foundation for tomorrow's Jewish community today.

The earthquake that struck Haiti created a human tragedy of heartrending dimensions. That's why we have created the UJA-Federation Haiti Relief Fund and are asking our community to join a Jewish response to a humanitarian crisis. One hundred precent of the money raised will be used to support the relief efforts. We have already taken steps to help send an Israeli relief team of medical, search-and-rescue, and post-trauma counseling experts to assist survivors. UJA-Federation's Haiti Relief Fund will enabel us to mobilize the resources of the best possible agencies and other groups based in New York and Israel. Funds will be used to provide: - Support for search-and-rescue efforts - Food, water, and clothing - Temporary shelters - Medical support services - Psycho-trauma counseling We will monitor the situation with the appropriate beneficiary agencies to ensure that money is being used effectively and efficiently.
