Devastating wildfires in LA

Humanitarian Response, News

Wildfires have been devastating large parts of Los Angeles since January 7, destroying homes, lives, and livelihoods. Our hearts go out to the Jewish community who have lost personal and communal property, alongside all those who are affected beyond the community. We are contributing to the Wildfires Crisis Relief of the Jewish Federation Los Angeles (JFEDLA), to support those who have been displaced, alongside day camps for children while schools are closed.

Visiting the Jewish Community in Moldova

Employment and Livelihoods

Rabbi Dina Brawer visits the Jewish community in Moldova, witnessing the transformative impact that World Jewish Relief’s Employment and Livelihoods programs have on individuals and on the Jewish community at large. While providing job-specific skills training and mentorship so that individuals are empowered to grow their economic opportunities, the program not only fosters a sense of Jewish community for isolated individuals, but also facilitates the development of infrastructure which is key to Jewish education, socializing and bonding.
