Shalom Friends,
Imagine getting a late-night phone call from a desperate college student, tears streaming down her face, overwhelmed by confusion and spiritual isolation.
That was Debra. She had been targeted on campus by aggressive missionary groups who quoted scripture verse after verse until she began to doubt everything she knew. She felt completely lost.
Thankfully, through her sister's love and hands-on guidance from Jews for Judaism, Debra found her way back home to her faith.
Debra's story ended in joy, but right now, countless young Jews are facing that same spiritual battle alone. On college campuses and across social media, our children are targeted by deceptive rhetoric,
aggressive proselytizing, rising antisemitism, and viral attacks on our sacred traditions. When
young adults don't have the answers, confusion sets in-and confusion breeds vulnerability.
Jews for Judaism, stands on the front lines to ensure no Jewish child feels undefended or abandoned.
Your support empowers our international efforts that protect, educate, and spiritually strengthen the Jewish community and our children.
As detractors target our community, Jews for Judaism is adapting and expanding our services to provide a multi-pronged approach to keeping Jews Jewish.
- Our rabbi's provide specialized counseling to families and individuals when their unique challenges leave them nowhere else to tum to for help.
- Our online presence provides educational resources through weekly social media posts, more than 550 videos on our YouTube Channel, racking an impressive 1 million hits a year.
- Our New Jerusalem center provides "Safe Space," to lone soldiers, students, and seekers looking for spiritual clarity during challenging times. In the past year and a half, we have hosted more than 500 people for warm Shabbat and Holiday celebrations.
- Our new book "Know How to Answer" has become a critical resource, and due to high demand, it is now available in English, Hebrew, and Russian.
- Our dynamic speakers have educated thousands via numerous lectures, class, podcasts interviews, and Zoom workshops.

Here is what one grateful parent had to say:
"Jews for Judaism's resources helped our family and son when he announced that his fiancé convinced him to accept Christianity. He is now fully committed to staying in the Jewish faith."
Despite our tremendous successes, the pressure on our youth is multiplying every day.
To meet this challenge, we are developing, in collaboration with school principals, an interactive seminar for high school seniors called Tools for Life and Leadership.
Replacing traditional lectures with immersive role-playing and dynamic interactive sessions, the Tool for Life and Leadership program goes beyond simply strengthening students, it actively trains them in leadership and mentoring, equipping them with the literal Tools for Life and Leadership they need to stand tall, navigate campus life with pride, and emerge as fearless Jewish leaders in their communities and on social media.
We cannot do this alone. And right now, your help goes twice as far.
