Mission and aims

JAA’s mission is to mobilise the Australian Jewish Community to participate and assist, both locally and overseas, in humanitarian projects in the wider community.

JAA enables people to realise and practice the core Jewish concepts of Tzedakah (justice), Chesed (kindness) and Tikkun Olam (repair the world).  Volunteering with JAA is an avenue for Jews, who are passionate about community and international development, to work through a Jewish aid organisation. 

JAA aims to be a connection point for all Australian Jews, from across the religious and political spectrum, and for those who feel disconnected from the current forms of Jewish expression. 

An underlying objective of JAA is to encourage a positive image of the Jewish community and to provide opportunities to connect with other community groups with the aim of promoting mutual respect and understanding.
