UJA @ KJ

Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun and UJA-Federation of New York are longtime partners in doing good. That means that together, we powerfully impact the issues that matter the most to our greater community.

Right now, Israel is fighting its longest war, with the national toll mounting. Antisemitism has become increasingly normalized in mainstream society. Looming cuts to food and health benefits will affect millions of vulnerable New Yorkers – people who were already struggling. And the window is closing for us to care for Holocaust survivors, whose needs rise as they age.

The challenges are immense, but so is our shared opportunity to make a difference. The collective generosity of the KJ community means UJA can continue to uplift Israel, fight antisemitism, and help our neighbors in need.
