Why FRJC?      

From Burma to buffaloes, celebrating the unique 18-year history of FRJC

Since 2003, FRJC has distributed over $1.3 Million exclusively to the remote Jewish communities of the Far East and India. Your support has enabled FRJC to accomplish many notable achievements including:

• Helping restore a flood-damaged synagogue in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)
• Sponsoring a Chinese Jew to study at Bar-Ilan in Israel, who returned home after graduation to teach and create a permanent exhibition on the Jewish legacy in Kaifeng
• Providing bikes and buffaloes to help a remote community in Manipur, India become self-sufficient and enable their children to attend shul that was not in walking distance from their homes
• Creating and funding a Jewish studies department at a university in China
• Helping fund the memorials in the Jewish ghetto, in Shanghai, China, commemorating heroic life-saving cooperation among Japanese, Chinese and Jews during World War II
• Contributing to the construction of security barriers for a synagogue in New Delhi, India
• Supporting publication of books and websites on Jewish art, culture and history in China, India, Japan, South Korea and the Russian Far East (Birobidjan)


 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

 

And now, for the next 18 years...

"To preserve and promote the remote Jewish communities on the periphery of the Diaspora" has been Rabbi Marvin Tokayer's guiding principle even before FRJC was formally created. During his early travels and lectures throughout the world, he raised money for those neglected and endangered communities that were below the radar of traditional Jewish charities.

And who else but Rabbi Tokayer could bring you the true story about a general in the Chinese army who almost single-handedly prevented a veto of the United Nations resolution for the creation of Israel! Rabbi Tokayer's next chapter is to preserve and promote the history of these remote Jewish communities to which he dedicated his life and career. Please join him by making a generous donation today with matching funds by the Tokayer Family.

The easiest way is to click on the Donate button where you'll find secure portals for charging and for PayPal. Or mail your check, in USD, payable to FRJC, and mail it to: P O Box 1355, Manhasset, NY 11030. Either way, please contribute toward preserving the fascinating and little-known Jewish experience of the Far East and India when there was 2000 years history without any hostility or anti-Semitism.
