Their words: “For [more than] 95 years [est. in 1914 by the lowly likes of Henry Morgenthau and Jacob Schiff, et al], the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)—also referred to as ‘the Joint’—has exemplified globally the principle that all Jewish people are responsible for one another. …Active today in more than 70 countries, JDC and its partners work to rescue Jewish lives at risk, bring relief to Jews in need, renew lost bonds to Jewish identity and Jewish culture, and help Israel overcome the social challenges of its most vulnerable citizens, etc.”
.
“JDC receives its funds primarily from American Jewry through the Jewish Federations in partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). JDC also receives significant funding from The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, World Jewish Relief (UK), UIA Federations Canada, The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and the Maurice and Vivienne Wohl Charitable Foundation.” [See JDC Funders & Foundations here: http://fedupusa.wordpress.com/american-jewish-joint-distribution-committee-jdc/jdc-funders-foundations/]

JDC-Israel seeks to enhance the quality of life for Israel’s vulnerable populations—including children, youth, and families at risk; struggling immigrant populations; the elderly; and the disabled—by developing innovative programs to meet these groups’ most acute needs. Current priorities include JDC-proposed Keeping the Children Safe initiatives under the Israel Emergency Campaign, which are helping reduce Israeli children’s exposure to terrorist attack by providing after-school and summer camp programs that keep children off high-risk streets and away from city centers.
