American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), one of the Jewish Federation’s primary overseas partners, works in 70 countries to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, create lasting connections to Jewish life, and provide immediate relief for disaster victims. From JDC’s birth during World War I to the displaced persons’ camps that helped Holocaust survivors start new lives, from strengthening a fledgling Israel to helping Jewish communities in the former Soviet Union thrive today, JDC helps Jews in need.
