New Resources Available for
Area Holocaust Survivors
Eric Schucht | JE Staff
A n estimated one of every three Holocaust sur-
vivors in the United States today lives at or
near the poverty line.

In Philadelphia, they will now have access to new
resources, courtesy of a partnership between Jewish
Federation of Greater Philadelphia, Jewish Family
and Children’s Service of Greater Philadelphia
(JFCS), Kavod and the Seed the Dream Foundation.

The new resources expand a collaboration with
Kavod that’s been in place for about a year, said JFCS
CEO and President Paula Goldstein.

“We’re delighted for the partnership. We are really
committed to doing anything that we can to help our
Holocaust survivors live out their lives in good health
and having their various needs met, and Kavod is one
spoke on the wheel in terms of enabling that to hap-
pen with emergency needs,” Goldstein said. “We’re
always very grateful for any funding that comes our
way to take care of Holocaust survivors.”
Kavod was started by Amy Israel Pregulman and
