As communities in Texas, including the large Jewish community in Houston, suffers some of the worst flooding in their state’s history, JUF is working alongside our federation partners to help the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston meet the urgent and evolving needs of Jewish families whose lives are significantly impacted.
Jewish neighborhoods were particularly hard hit, as related by Houston resident and Jewish News Service editor Jacob Kamaras, who offered a distinctly Jewish perspective on the flooding.
Our own JUF has set up a fund if you prefer to donate through Chicago’s Federation: www.juf.org/HurricaneHarvey. Or donate via our hotline (312) 444-2869 or send a check payable to Jewish Federation Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund to 30 S. Wells Street, #3155, Chicago, IL 60606.
