| The Jews of Central
and Eastern Europe, who lived in twilight for more than fifty years,
are reemerging, providing tremendous promise for the future. It is
the goal of The Ronald S. Foundation to support these new communities,
especially the Jewish children. By providing them with opportunities
through Jewish education, they are able to develop into proud and
informed Jewish adults. As these young Jews learn about their culture
and faith, they inspire their parents to do the same.
The Javne Fund,
a tax-exempt organization created in 1995, enables all those concerned
to donate funds to encourage this exciting renewal of Jewish life
in Central and Eastern Europe. Through The Javne Fund, which supports
programs of Jewish education and community outreach, those who contribute
and those who receive, are allowed the chance to reconnect with
their Jewish past.
The Ronald S.
Lauder Foundation matches all gifts for approved programs made by
individuals and foundations to The Javne Fund on a two for one basis.
All contributions to The Javne Fund are allocated directly
to programs and projects in Central and Eastern Europe.

Javne Fund's most recent Annual Report may be obtained upon request
