The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous provides financial support to more than 900 non-Jews who rescued Jews during the Holocaust and preserves their legacy through a national education program.

Young Associates Division

The Young Associates Division (YAD) was founded to engage young adults and promote and support the mission of The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous through community service, educational and social networking events. Their inaugural event last spring was attended by over 200 young professionals. In the fall, we enjoyed watching a Mets game from a sky box at Citi Field. YAD members filled four tables at the JFR’s annual dinner on December 1st 2009.

In January 2010 YAD hosted an overwhelmingly successful event at Le Souk in New York City. Last year's Mets Game was a huge hit and we are looking forward to this year's baseball outting in May. Please check the YAD Facebook page by clicking here for more information.
