Welcome to JLIC Good For The World. Across the world, JLIC communities of students and young professionals donate their time and charitable giving to help vulnerable groups and those in need in all manner of ways. With a pool of thousands of volunteers across more than 25 locations in the US, Israel, and Canada, we are uniquely placed to enable young Jews to bring good to the world.
This Purim, our matanot l’evyonim projects will help many of the most vulnerable in Tel Aviv and New York, including hundreds of beautiful gift and care packages for those experiencing homelessness and Shoah survivors, as well as those most impacted by the war, including those evacuated, injured, or bereaved. In addition, we will be sending beautiful mishloach manot packages to dozens of hostage families – making sure that they continue to feel embraced and supported.
To donate to our matanot l’evyonim projects, please write ‘Purim’ in the notes below – and if you wish for your donation to be allocated to a particular cause (homelessness, Holocaust survivors, hostage families) please make that clear. Gifts will be distributed on Purim day and will fulfill the mitzvot of matanot l’evyonim and mishloach manot.
Since October 7, 2023, the bulk of our work has focused on Israel, where more than 1000 JLIC community members on the ground in Israel in 8 cities have been doing everything they can to ensure that those most impacted by the war have everything they need.
We have helped many thousands of individuals and families, and continue to be there for those impacted by the war as we seek to rebuild Israeli society after October 7th and to take her to new and better places. Thank you for your partnership in supporting this crucial work. For any questions, including how to give through other methods or if you would like to get involved, please email wolfsonj@ou.org
