A lot of ads are actually raising money for Christian missionaries.
Consult your local Orthodox rabbi - Chabad Lubavitchers are almost everywhere - for reputable charities.
People think of Jews as rich. That is a misnomer. Life in Israel for refugee families and the poor is very bad. Israel has a high cost of living. Many things are very expensive there. Cost of rent/food/etc. There are a lot of refugee families coming in all the time, many having to leave all their belongings behind, and any money, plus there is little to no work. It is difficult. It takes a while to find, then get settled into a settlement, and things are much different than here, where you look in the paper or online and go check out a few places. It takes a while to get the paperwork to work, etc. Lots of reasons.
Same thing here! I found that whiney, lisping Rabbi doing the narrating so thoroughly disingenuous and annoying that I just change the channel every time he comes on...

There is one charity that uses the money to bring jews from other countries to Israel..these are mostly poor jews and the elderly. It takes 250 dollars to support one jew to immigrate to the mother land...Iforget the name but gave enought once to bring one jew to Isreal...Its also connected with a christian group I believe... Its called the Israel word for return to mother land..don’t remember it but some Jews on free republic might know the term..Its the right of return...
