HELP THEM BUILD THE JEWISH FUTURE The United Jewish Appeal was the central fund-raising agency among the Jews of the United States. Its main aims were to help develop the State of Israel and to aid the Joint Distribution Committee, which was providing assistance to Diaspora Jewish communities. As statehood neared, the UJA financed aliyah and aided in developing the economy that would absorb the new immigrants. The UJA also devoted funds to education, cultural projects and vocational training for the immigrants. (1944-45)
