Our Impact

make a difference

Your gift helps those in need.

We often speak about our impact in big numbers. The 4.5 million people a year touched by our work. The more than 100 agencies in our unparalleled network. The 60 countries around the globe our support reaches.

But to truly understand the impact we have, you must understand how the services we make possible can change individual lives.

  • A Holocaust survivor in Kiev who receives a warm bowl of soup at a local community center.
  • An Ethiopian-Israeli father learning new job skills to better support his family.
  • A teen traveling to Israel for the first time and connecting to Jews from around the world.
  • A child with autism who, for the first time, feels welcome and included in her synagogue community.

These are just a few examples of the impact we have every day in caring for the community, strengthening the Jewish people, and deepening Jewish identity. Together, we’re building a community where no one is left out.

Ultimately, impact is about the difference you can make in the lives of countless individuals. And by joining us in this meaningful endeavor, the life you most change may be your own.

Caring for those in need, rescuing those in harm's way, and renewing and strengthening the Jewish people in New York, in Israel, and around the world.
