We are horrified by the wildfires devastating large parts of Los Angeles. We are in close contact with our friends and supporters there, and our hearts go out to the Jewish community who have lost personal and communal property, alongside all those who are affected beyond the community.

We recently took a group of Jewish university students to see our life-changing work in Rwanda. This educational 10-day trip is part of the Ben Azzai programme, run in partnership with the Office of the Chief Rabbi. This programme teaches Jewish students about our responsibility towards vulnerable people within and beyond our community. #TikkunOlam #JewishCharity
I have just returned from a 10 day educational field visit with World Jewish Relief, touring various projects to gain an insight into international development in Rwanda. Here are my key takeaways… 1) Approach every challenge by being a stakeholder in the outcome. Outcome-oriented thinking, as seen in World Jewish Relief’s work, focuses on sustainable, thoughtful solutions with long-term impacts considered, driven by responsibility and optimism. 2) Solve challenges through systematic change. In 2021, farmers in Ndego faced severe drought. SACCA (World Jewish Relief’s partner) addressed the root cause of the vulnerability by introducing modern horticulture farming with small-scale irrigation, rather than relying on food aid. This approach provided life-changing skills, fostered ownership, and built both environmental and financial resilience for farmers. 3) See the humanity behind all people. Recognise people as individuals, not through the lens of stereotypes or preconceptions attached to their group, profession, or religion. Whilst we bleed the same blood and cry the same tears, we share so much more, we take joy and pride in similar things and feel pain and anguish at similar things. During this visit, my group joined a mental health discussion with Rwandan farmers who receive mental health support as part of broader agricultural assistance. Finding commonalities in how we address our challenges, without minimising the unique experiences of others, was profound. Different countries, cultures, religions, and professions don’t detract from the fact that, at our core, we are all human. 4) How to effectively communicate. Speaking through a translator highlighted the power of body language. Even without understanding words, tone and gestures conveyed so much.

Please, stop scrolling for just one moment. As we prepare to sit down in the warmth and light with our loved ones… older Jewish people in Ukraine are sitting in darkness. Alone. And freezing cold. Please don’t forget about Ukraine this Chanukah: https://lnkd.in/gYigS5uX #JewishPhilanthropy #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
