Federation Continues Supporting Relief Efforts in Ukraine

As Russia’s aggression in Ukraine enters its second month, we are seeing the enormous toll it has taken on the citizens of the country, including the nation’s 200,000 Jews. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is supporting the work of our overseas partners — the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), The Jewish Agency for Israel and World ORT — as they provide humanitarian life-saving services for those in harm’s way seeking refuge. Since the war began, over 23,000 calls have been answered at emergency hotlines; approximately 15,000 displaced Ukrainians have been housed as they determine their next steps; 1,000 locations across Ukraine are receiving support.
