Comments

The United Jewish Appeal is the chief fund raising instrument of the Jewish community in the United States. It combines the fund raising effort of the Joint Distribution Committee as well as that of the Israel United Fund. The combined appeal began its activities in 1939, a time when European Jewry was about to be faced with the Holocaust. Ever since, the Jewish Agency and the State of Israel have united in their historic task of rescuing Jews from the lands of oppression and settling them in Israel.
