Austria
Austrian Jews have had a profound impact on global Jewish life — and JDC is proud to partner with them as they build their Jewish future.

Cuba
Jews are said to have first arrived in Cuba in 1492, aboard Christopher Columbus’s ship, and for the last 500 years have developed a vibrant culture and rich heritage. Today, Cuba’s Jewish community is building a life all its own, and JDC is proud to support this dynamic and growing community.
