Uniting crisis response, combatting hate and antisemitism, and securing our community for the future!
As Israel faces continued threats from the war with Gaza to the recent Iranian missile attacks, the needs on the ground are urgent and constantly evolving. Individuals and communities throughout Israel are grappling with the physical, emotional, and economic toll of war, displacement, and trauma. The extensive physical and economic reconstruction of southern Israel will require sustained efforts for years to come, as will supporting the war’s victims in their physical, mental, and spiritual recovery. Addressing and preventing antisemitism in the U.S. demands new initiatives and policies, aimed at countering ignorance, malice, or a combination of both. Amid these challenges, philanthropists and Jewish communal organizations must balance these new needs while focusing on their regular priorities in 2025. DJCF is here to offer support and facilitate your giving along the way. We continue to monitor the needs of our local Jewish community as well as in Israel as the war continues and needs evolve. We will update funding opportunities to continue to respond to those needs.
