Resources about Israel

October 17, 2023

As we go through these challenging times, it can be difficult to continue to be present in all aspects of our lives. The JCC is here to offer resources to you to help sustain us as we move forward.

If you feel the need for support, the services of the 10.27 Healing Partnership are always here for you. You can contact them at 412-697-3534 or [email protected] or at 1-888-796-8226 if you need immediate assistance.

A special educational opportunity was provided by Yisrael Klitzner, Former Diaspora Affairs Advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel, at the JCC October 11. Click here to view the recording of the program.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh’s website offers resources such as local rallies, emergency relief and more. Click here to view.
