Webinar hosted by Jewish Federations of North America

The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) announced on Monday that it has surpassed its fundraising goal of $50 million for aid to Ukraine. According to a news release, the funds have been allocated to 35 NGOs operating on the ground in Ukraine and neighboring countries. Some of these groups include the Jewish Agency for Israel, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and World ORT, which the release called its core partner groups.

As the war in Ukraine rages on, with more than four million refugees having fled the country, Jewish communities urge the Administration to take the next steps on President Biden’s pledge to welcome 100,000 refugees from Ukraine.

Ukraine webinar featured Dr. Rami Sagi from Israel’s new field hospital in Ukraine, along with Asaf Segev from Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After one and a half months of fighting, the war continues in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians,
including tens of thousands of Jews, have fled the country and millions of others are internally
displaced. Jewish Federations and our partners continue to work together to ensure that
urgent relief reaches the most needy.

Jewish Federations are proud to announce that we have allocated some $40 million of the $43.4 million we have raised to 35 NGOs operating on the ground in Ukraine and neighboring countries to support refugees and Jewish communities in their time of need. Both The Jewish Federations of North America and individual Federations have driven funds to our partner agencies The Jewish Agency for Israel, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and World ORT.

Across Ukraine, Jews are engaging in a historically Jewish experience: becoming refugees. And hundreds of them from Odessa have headed to an unlikely destination, the impoverished nation of Moldova whose capital, Chisinau, was the site of a major pogrom that became a symbol of Jewish flight Eastern Europe in the early 20th century.

Since troops began amassing on Ukraine’s border in November, a steep rise in prices of daily essentials – food, medicine, and utilities – is forcing tens of thousands of needy Jews to make a desperate choice between buying food or keeping warm through this freezing winter. This mounting economic crisis adds to Covid’s lasting financial toll, casting the most vulnerable into extreme risk and suffering.

We can now verify that all Moishe House residents and employees throughout Ukraine and the broader Former Soviet Union are currently safe and accounted for.

All eyes are on Ukraine and we thank those of you who have shown care and concern for our many friends there.

Since the early 90’s several outstanding JCCs opened up, and in many smaller communities the JCC work is integrated with the work of the welfare centers known as Hessed (in Hebrew, kindness/char...

The Russian attack on Ukraine is a serious violation of the international order. Israel condemns the attack, and is ready and prepared to provide humanitarian assistance to the citizens of Ukraine. Israel is a country that has experienced wars, and war is not the way to resolve conflicts.

Very concerned about the situation in Ukraine, the Jewish community & Israelis there. The State of Israel will always take care of Jews in danger wherever they may be. My ministry is preparing an aid package for Jewish communities in Ukraine & will assist them any way we can.

The Russian army launched an attack on Ukraine today. The fog of war is still thick, but it is known that a number of cities were attacked from the air and Russian ground forces infiltrated Ukrainian territory on several fronts. This is a dramatic and exceptional situation;
