URJ Asian Earthquake Relief Fund
While the full extent of the devastation the earthquake and tidal
waves left in Southeast Asia will not be known for several days,
it is clear that the assistance of the international community is
needed to help those who survived rebuild their lives. The Union
for Reform Judaism is working to determine the most appropriate
international relief agencies to assist the people of the region,
and has opened a special fund, the URJ Asian Earthquake Relief
Fund. We urge you to encourage your congregants to help the
people of Southeast Asia by donating to the URJ Relief Fund or to
one of the relief agencies below. (Note that we will be
providing up-to-date information on where donations may be sent
online at http://urj.org/relief.)
For those who prefer to donate through the Union, we have opened
the Union for Reform Judaism Asian Earthquake Disaster Relief
Fund. Donations may be made online at www.urj.org/give.
Checks made payable to the Union for Reform Judaism (write "Asian
Earthquake Relief Fund" in the memo section of your check) may be
sent to:
