People have asked how they can help Haiti after Tuesday's devestating earthquake.  Two organizations in particular are our Jewish community's response in times such as these.

• American Jewish World Service
• Joint Distribution Committee

Both of these organizations focus on serving the world at large and helping distressed communities from a Jewish perspective.  These organizations are Jewish responses to the troubles of the world.  Both have contacts on the ground and have established dedicated funds to support the relief efforts.   As more information becomes available of what else can be done your synagogue will keep you informed.
