Security Assistance Fund

Security Assistance Fund

Protecting Jewish Life. Strengthening Communities.

Around the world, Jewish communities gather to learn, pray, celebrate, and build their future. Yet in many regions, they face real threats, from rising antisemitism to unstable surroundings. The Jewish Agency’s Security Assistance Fund exists to ensure that these communities can live Jewishly openly and safely, no matter where they are.

We provide essential financial support to Jewish institutions outside the United States, helping them reinforce their security and protect the places that shape Jewish life: synagogues, schools, community centers, youth facilities, and cultural organizations. Wherever Jewish life needs protection, the Fund stands ready to help.

Through the Security Assistance Fund, The Jewish Agency is able to shore up these facilities with extra safety measures. Adding CCTV, alarms, locks, gates, and reinforced walls/doors/windows are just a few ways we’re keeping at-risk Jews safe.

Security Assistance Fund

“When Jews are scared to come to Jewish places, they won’t come, and their sense of community and their Jewish identity will disappear. The support from the Security Assistance Fund has had a big impact. That feeling of being protected in Jewish spaces is a tremendous thing and vital for Jewish life in the Netherlands, and we are very grateful.”

-Chanan Hertzberger, Chairman of the Central Jewish Organization (CJO) group in the Netherlands
