United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York

UJA-Federation provides funding to support a network of nearly 100 health, human-service, educational, and community-building agencies and dozens of grantees in New York, Israel, and 70 other countries. These community-based organizations offer a multitude of services to combat poverty, help the elderly age with dignity, promote Jewish identity and renewal, strengthen connections between the Jewish people worldwide, care for people with disabilities and special needs, and stand in support of the people of Israel. However, Israeli government Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said that UJA-F supports the New Israel Fund, which in turn supports groups like Bimkom, Breaking the Silence and Hamoked, which Shaked said are "anti-Israel" because they accuse Israel of "war crimes" and "apartheid," and support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
