PHYSICAL

The urgent Physical needs of a Jew:

Just imagine for a moment, a single mother (Leah) living all alone working 8 hour days as a secretary, desperately to provide food for her 8 hungry children. Unexpectedly she gets notice from her land-lord that her 2 room apartment will now cost another 100$/month! Leah quickly realizes that the 200$ she has in savings will only allow her and her 8 kids to stay for another 2 months! Leah has no family support or friends, she is literally on her own! the JRF has helped many of such cases, where we have stepped in and prevented multiple evictions of Jewish family.
We focus on food, rent, and many other essential physical needs for the Jewish people where no one else is helping to prevent a tragedy from happening to a Jewish family.

SPIRITUAL

The spiritual health of a person can be helping with school tuition, pair of tefillin, bar/bat mitzvah; where there is a need for help but is not being filled by the family, friends, or local community. JRF steps in and provides religious articles, religious classes, Shabbot meals, to those seeking to become religious and to be able to practice their Judaism.
We have since provided assistance by providing pairs of teffilin (close to 600usd/per pair); setting up Shabot programs, and many more such activates.
