Our tzedakah box donations will provide assistance to victims of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma through the URJ's General Relief Disaster Fund. The Union for Reform Judaism will allocate funding received to agencies on the ground that are best equipped to respond to this disaster. In addition, the URJ is working closely with congregations in the affected region to assure the safety of their congregants, their neighbors, and their structures and to determine next steps in relief work.
