World Jewish Relief USA

The Jewish community’s first response to global crisis.

World Jewish Relief is the Jewish community’s humanitarian agency, responding to conflict, disaster and crisis. From emergency response to long-term recovery, our work gives people from within and beyond the Jewish community the tools to survive, and then to thrive as they rebuild their lives. We provide a hand up, not a handout. Everything we do is designed to unlock potential - never to create dependency. Rooted in Jewish history, values and responsibility, we take urgent, expert-led action that delivers impact and dignity for people affected by crisis.

We serve approximately 180,000 people facing crisis every year in 20+ countries around the world, both Jews and non-Jews, with an equal sense of urgency.
