Our 5 working pillars
We provide aid to the most vulnerable Jews
Tens of thousands of elderly Jews go to bed hungry every night, homebound in dilapidated apartments. And tens of thousands of Jewish families—many of them with special needs—struggle to make ends meet and educate their children.
We cultivate a Jewish future
We are building the next generation of young leaders and empowering families with Jewish connection and opportunity—fueling a powerful revival of Jewish life that’s more essential now than ever before.
We are the largest NGO in Israel partnering with the government
The Joint is the Research and Development Arm of the Israeli government social welfare department. Spanning the depth and breadth of the country, we make it possible for millions of vulnerable Israelis to lift themselves from dependence towards a life of self-sufficiency and dignity
We lead the Jewish response to global crisis
Every year, the lives and livelihood of millions of people are irrevocably altered in an instant when natural disasters or other calamities strike. We leverage a century of experience to help these devastated communities overcome the most difficult challenges by providing immediate humanitarian aid
