At UJC we’re tackling the major
challenges, and opportunities, of our Jewish future. Our newest major initiative
is Operation
Promise, the $160 million supplemental fundraising effort to help feed
elderly, poor Jews in the former Soviet Union, strengthen Jewish identity among
young FSU Jews facing assimilation, bring the remaining 20,000 Ethiopian Jews to
Israel and lift the entire Ethiopian-Israel community into the mainstream with
better education.
We're also helping build Jewish community at home in
North America, with innovative programs like UJCweb, the federation Internet platform
that's already giving more than 100 communities a robust Web presence featuring
the critical email marketing tools necessary to build their online philanthropy,
the fastest-growing arena in the non-profit world.
