Revitalize Jewish Life

Each year some 2,000 Jewish youth attend the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation/JDC International Camp at Szarvas, Hungary, where they learn about Jewish traditions and take part in life-changing experiences like this bar/bat-mitzvah celebration.

Famine, World Wars, Communist repression, political strife, genocide—Jewish communities around the world have confronted the unthinkable over the last century. Today, Jews worldwide share a unique opportunity to reconnect to their cultural heritage and find unprecedented strength as part of a global Jewish people.

JDC restores and rebuilds vibrant Jewish life in countries throughout the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe. As their trusted partner for nearly a century, JDC shares its expertise to empower local Jewish communities from Latin America to Northern Africa and Asia to develop and enrich their local communities.

JDC facilitates enriching Jewish experiences such as intergenerational family retreats and pioneering children’s camps
JDC supports Jewish schools and community centers offering the only Jewish education available in some parts of the world
JDC brings Jewish culture to the streets with pioneering “Judaism without walls” initiatives like outdoor festivals and performances

JDC’s centers of Jewish life and cultural continuity around the world are instrumental in connecting Jews to one another and to our collective tradition.

Logging In With One of Your Social Web Site Logins

Instead of trying to remember a bunch of special username/password combinations to log in to different web sites that you visit, you can now link your account on this web site to your account on one (or more) of the social media web sites shown and log in with the same username/password combination that you use on that social web site to log in to our site.

To provide this connection in a secure manner, we use Gigya, a social network connection provider that works behind the scenes to make safe, secure connections between user accounts on different systems, such as popular social media web sites like Facebook and web sites like ours where you are actively involved in social issues and causes.

Each time you log in, Gigya uses special application programming interfaces (APIs) to establish the connection between the sites and validate your username and password. Neither our web site or Gigya receive or store your social network passwords.

In addition to reducing the number of logins you have to remember, connecting your accounts can make it quicker and easier to share an activity or cause you feel passionately about from our web site with your friends on your social web sites.

You can break the connection between your accounts at any time.
