NG OUR PUNE The Jewish Agency for Israel Israel is in a category all its own when it comes to sav- ing lives. No nation in the world has stretched its resources to the extent that Israel has to rescue people from hardship and danger, and then willingly shouldered the extra responsibility of helping them achieve indepen- dence and self-fulfillment. And no organization has perfect- ed the art and science of rescue like the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). For more than 70 years, this major overseas beneficiary of Federation's Annual Campaign has been bringing our people home. Most of JAFI's global Jewish agenda goes right to the heart of our Jewish values. Through the Jewish Agency, our Campaign dollars are transporting endangered Jews to freedom. We're providing refugees with the necessities of life and the tools to prepare for a productive role in a modern society. JAFI has helped to shape the life-affirming Partnership 2000, our Federation's people-to- people exchange in Israel's Central Galilee region, and developed the programs that are creating a new generation of Jewishly educated young people around the world. When it comes to Jewish rescue and renewal, JAFI is helping Israel and the Jewish people write another remarkable chapter in Jewish history.
