Our Overseas Partners

The Jewish Agency for Israel connects the Federation community in an unmatched global partnership singularly devoted to ensuring the future of the Jewish people with a strong Israel at its heart.  The Jewish Agency works in communities around the world with a dual purpose:  To keep the promise to every Jew, who for any reason, at any time, wants to come home to Israel; and to put Israel into the lives of the Jewish world's next generation.  Through dynamic partnership platforms with the people of Israel, such as Partnership 2000 and Youth Futures, the Jewish Agency creates equal opportunity for at-risk immigrants and young people, strengthens Israel's vulnerable communities, and connects all of the Jewish people in shaping the future character of Israeli society.

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, with financial support from the Federation community, sponsors programs of relief, rescue and renewal, and helps Israel address its most urgent social challenges.  Whenever and wherever a Jewish community is threatened, JDC offers rescue.  For Jewish communities in distress, JDC offers aid.  Since the fall of Communist regimes, JDC has been helping European communities rebuild Jewish life.  JDC provides assistance to the State of Israel as it addresses the social service needs of children at risk, struggling immigrant populations, the elderly and the disabled.  And in times of crises--national disasters, war, famine--JDC offers aid to non-Jews to fulfill the Jewish tenet to repair the world.
