Caught in the Crossfire

Israel has been on the ground in Georgia since the crisis began, working with our overseas partners – the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) – offering financial assistance and emergency aid. Children have been airlifted to respite camps in Israel; 250 teens arrived in Israel for student programs. Georgian Jews are being relocated to Tblisi with nothing but the shirts on their backs. The basic necessities – food, medicine, water and clothing – have been provided. There is much more to be done.

Only through your assistance can these life-saving missions occur. The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County has been asked to advance money as soon as possible. We are currently $400,000 away from our Campaign 2008 goal. Please help us provide rescue and relief to our Jewish brothers and sisters in Georgia and around the world.
