The Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) announced last week that it was launching a new fund for those affected by the Iran war, particularly for those who have lost family members, sustained wounds, or lost their homes because of Iranian missile attacks in Israel.

Last Wednesday, the agency announced it had already raised $10 million from private donors, half of its $20 million goal.

JAFI’s chief development officer, Danyelle Neuman, told eJewishPhilanthropy that the fund was established in partnership with the Jewish Federations of North America and Keren Hayesod.
