Where can I donate money?

In times of turmoil it is especially important to ensure that donations are being handled properly and through trusted sources. To that end, Jewish Federation of New Hampshire recommends sending all monetary donations through Jewish Federations of North America's Emergency Fund: https://jfeds.org/israelfund2023.

100% of donations go directly to Israel.

What has JFNH been doing to help the situation in Israel and here in the United States?

JFNH director Allyson Guertin is in regular contact with religious and political leaders in New Hampshire, as well as with Consul General to New England Meron Rueben and with the FBI. Should there be any credible threats to the Jewish community in New Hampshire, JFNH will be contacted and distribute that information as appropriate.

In the meantime, we are doing our best to hold events that support our statewide Jewish community, to release vetted resources and articles, and to maintain clear communication about upcoming events and gatherings.
