Since the events of October 7, over 1,000 donors have contributed nearly $1 million in support of Jewish Federation’s Israel Emergency Campaign. Local contributions have been combined with those from across the country totaling $659 million raised by the Federation system, of which $200 million has already been allocated to support a wide range of Israeli humanitarian organizations. 

On November 16, Erik Ludwig, Board Chair Heather Kline, Campaign Chair Adam Miller, and nearly 30 Orange County residents traveled to Washington, DC for the March for Israel, where they joined over 290,000 in person and another 250,000 online to advocate against antisemitism, fight for the release of all the hostages, and stand in strong solidarity with Israel. We share in the relief felt by families of recently released hostages and will continue to fight until all are home.
