THE NEED
Growing assimilation and perilously high intermarriage rates pose an
existential threat to the future of the Jewish people.
More than 50% of Jewish children throughout the world receive no Jewish education.2.5 million young people are losing their connection to Judaism - distancing themselves from their communities, their heritage, and their people.Jewish communities are shrinking. Not surprisingly, support for Israel and Jewish causes is on the decline.
KEREN HAYESOD’S RESPONSE
