Our Mission
Founded in 2010, Help This Jew (HTJ) is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit voluntary organization dedicated to helping Jews with emergent and urgent needs that may not be addressed by established social service and charitable organizations in a timely fashion. Our mission is to provide a forum where Jews in need can appeal directly to benevolent and good hearted people who are anxious to help. It is in the spirit of the statement by the legendary sage Maimonides: “The highest form of charity is to help someone to help themselves.” The match between the Jew in need and the gracious donor is designed to serve as an immediate and temporary remedy paving the way for a resumption of an independent, productive and successful life in the finest tradition of Jewish values.
