Help the victims of the fires in Southern California
The wildfires in the Los Angeles region have displaced hundreds of thousands, caused enormous suffering, and claimed many lives. Jewish facilities, including a 100-year-old synagogue, are among those buildings that have already been damaged or destroyed. Jewish Federations in Los Angeles, Ventura County, and San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys have opened a Wildfire Relief Fund. Your help is urgently needed.
