Jews have always based our tzedakah on the urgency of the needs and not the economy. A bad economy only exacerbates the needs of our Jewish family here at home, in Israel and around the world. More people need our help. More of our family is in crisis.
Nov. 3, 2008: $919,000 pledged – 77% of our $1.2 million goal
