The need is urgent
The estimated 200,000 Jews living in Ukraine have been profoundly affected by the political and economic instability that have wracked the country. Thousands are trapped in conflict zones in the east. Thousands more have fled the fighting. The Jewish Federations of North America plans to allocate millions of dollars to their partner agencies on the ground. But the urgent needs continue, and that's why we need to raised $20 million. Learn more about the Jewish Federation's work in Ukraine, here.
