Our Jewish Community Relations Council partnered with the Governor's Office to write a proclamation condemning antisemitism; and the JCRC responded to antisemitic and anti-Israel statements in K-12 schools, universities, city councils, and the state legislature. Our Israel emergency fundraising is sent to JFNA which distributes those dollars to organizations working on the ground in Israel, including The Jewish Agency, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and hundreds of partner organizations and non-governmental organizations operating on the frontlines in Israel.Expenses $8,796,840 · grants $6,828,488
