United Jewish
Communities/the Federations of North America expresses its solidarity with the
people of Israel in the wake of the
cease-fire of Operation Cast Lead.
UJC Israel Solidarity Drive and
E-Philanthropy
Although a cease-fire has been
reached, great needs remain in Southern Israel. The UJC/Federation system continues to aim to raise $10 million to help the nearly 1 million Israelis whose lives have
been impacted by eight years of missile strikes. Already the
UJC/Federation system has raised more than $6 million toward this
effort.
The Israel Solidarity
Drive helps people in Southern Israel through programs run by UJC's main
overseas partners: the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Jewish
Agency for Israel, Israel Trauma Coalition and Ethiopian National
Project. Some funds are also
allocated for the Israel Advocacy Initiative (a partnership of UJC and
JCPA), which helps communities better advocate
for Israel.
UJC and the
Federations of North America are supporting the Israel Solidarity Drive with an
e-philanthropy effort that includes Web banners and a Google ad-word campaign.
Federations may customize Web
banners for their own marketing efforts. To download Web
