About This Cause

Background and Services provided by The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) was established by Rabbi Harold Schulweis in 1986 with a two-fold mission. The first was to create a vehicle to provide financial support to aged and needy non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. The second was to develop educational programs centering on the Holocaust and the altruism and moral courage of Christian rescuers. The Foundation seeks to fulfill the traditional Jewish commitment to hakarat hatov, the searching out and recognition of goodness.
