As Israel and America stand strong against Hamas, Hezbollah, and anyone who supports the massacre of innocent civilians, the desire to help is palpable. But how do you know where and how to give? How do you determine a charity is credible and fiscally responsible? How can you be sure that the money you donate is getting to those in danger and most in need?
Jewish Life Now has done some research and through a careful analysis of philanthropic, economic, and human service non-profit organizations and charitable organizations, we have put together a list of some of the most reputable and effective charities. In addition to the short list below, your Jewish Federations, Combined Jewish Philanthropies and Jewish Community Foundations are equipped to help as well. (As always, please do your own research):
