LIVE THE HISTORY.
Experience Israel with UJIA
The UK’s leading Jewish charity, connecting you to Israel through empowering young people, facilitating meaningful experiences, and creating opportunities to deepen your connection to Israel.
Our response to October 7th
On 7th October, everything changed in Israel. The certainties that many Israelis had felt building up in recent years evaporated in the space of a few hours.
To date, we have allocated over £7.2m in support for more than 30 vital projects as well as vulnerable communities in the South and North.
None of this would have been possible without the rapid and generous support of our donors. But our work does not end here.
Israel may have changed irrevocably, but we want to make sure that the country that emerges from the ashes of 7th October is even stronger and more resilient than before.
UJIA is here, standing together with Israel and its people, as we always have.

UJIA champions meaningful experiences in Israel for young Jews in the UK, believing that firsthand encounters, peer connections, and educational settings are the key to forging a strong relationship with Israel.
UJIA is committed to empowering young Jews in the UK by breaking down all barriers – financial and beyond – to foster strong connections with Israel and by nurturing future leaders who inspire their peers.
UJIA believes that once you’ve forged that relationship with Israel, it’s vital to express that bond. Supporting our efforts to combat inequality and boost social mobility in Israel’s neediest communities is a powerful way to do so and to make a difference.
