Ideas On How To Be Part Of Jewish American Organizations

By Tanisha Berg


The perspectives, practices and traditions of Jews are unique. They need to be sustained within the community in all parts of the world. There are instructions given in the Torah that must be followed. They include social justice, charity, repairing the world and continuous learning. These objectives have led to the formation of Jewish American organizations.

Membership is open to Jews from Israel and the diaspora. The issues that are addressed on regular basis include education, social welfare and participation in social services. They run budgets of several million dollars every year to facilitate their activities. The groups come together to ensure that their activities are coordinated and have greater impact.

The value of caring is demanded of every Jew by the Torah. This is one point of focus by organizations working for the welfare of Jews. It aims at providing an opportunity to individuals, through their resources, skills and time, to transform lives through miracles. Simple acts of presence or sending help are highly regarded.

A global planning table helps to bring together partners, donors, professionals and experts with the view of pulling together resources for worldwide distribution. It creates an innovative platform where planning and prioritization is done. A lot of research is done at this level to ensure that all activities have an impact on the welfare of the community at large.

Security ranks high among the concerns for Jews anywhere. This is a delicate matter that requires strategies and expert input. Active participation of all Jews is also required. Security is guaranteed through study of trends and preparing for the future with such information at hand.

The activities and engagements of the global community is to meet the changing needs of Jews around the world. These organizations have participated in assisting vulnerable communities and nations during calamities. They are present in disaster areas where such calamities as floods and famine are experienced.

The Jewish community needs to remain close regardless of global dispersion. This is according to the Torah. Closeness to community, family and friends is highly regarded. This happens through cultural programs and education with the aim of inculcating values. Each generation must be taught these values. The activities are grouped in terms of age and gender, among other categories.

Advocacy seeks to safeguard the welfare of Jews across the globe. Peace in the Middle East is a major challenge in this regard. Experts and diplomats lobby nations into guaranteeing the security of Jews at home and in the Diaspora. Any contribution towards this goal is welcome.

Youth programs aimed at grounding Jews on the traditions are run allover the world. The youths are sent to Israel for sometime to learn basic skills and identify with their roots. The youths visit schools, villages and synagogues to learn more about their culture. This is a grounding session that requires support in any way possible.

Every individual is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that the dignity of Jewish life is maintained. Support and participation can either be in person or kind. Every Jew is called to join a group within his vicinity with contacts details and program of activities being provided online.
