Rescuer Support
Rescuer Support
The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) provides monthly financial assistance to aged and needy Righteous Gentiles, non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. The majority of the rescuers receiving financial support live in Eastern Europe, with Poland having the largest number of rescuers. The JFR provides a special award at Christmas for the purchase of food, medicine, and home heating fuel.

About the JFR
During the Holocaust there were thousands on non-Jews who refused to be passive in the face of the evil they witnessed, rescuing Jews, often at risk to their own lives and the lives of their families. In 1986, Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis z"l established The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) to fulfill the traditional Jewish commitment to
hakarat hatov
, the searching out and recognition of goodness.
