Help for Haiti and Chile
Earthquake in Chile
On February 28, 2010 one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history of 8.8 magnitude struck Chile, killing hundreds, displacing hundreds of thousands and causing widespread destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, offices and infrastructure. Two million people are impacted by the disaster.
The Union for Reform Judaism is part of the Jewish Coalition for Disaster Relief, which is facilitated by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). The Coalition has opened a fund for relief efforts in Chile, leveraging the JDC’s existing partnerships in the region, including the local Chilean Jewish community.

How do you turn $6.44 into $1,000,000?
Seven year old Jonah gave his rabbi the contents of his personally decorated tzedakah box for the people of Haiti-$6.44. His rabbi sent it to the Union for Reform Judaism. Because of Jonah, and ten thousand others who donated more than $1 Million, the Reform Movement is building medical clinics, caring for children with HIV/AIDS and feeding and sheltering the homeless in Haiti.
There's no better return on your investment.
The Union for Reform Judaism is able to quickly mobilize more than 900 Reform congregations and their members because generous donors like you support the work of the Union throughout the year, and not just in times of crisis.
Please consider a gift to the Fund for Reform Judaism so we can be here the next time disaster strikes. |
