Jewish Child's Day
JCD, formerly known as Jewish Child’s Day, is a charity providing support for Jewish children suffering from physical and emotional disabilities, neglect, abuse and financial hardship. It was founded in 1947 to give Jewish families in Britain the opportunity to help children in Europe whose lives had changed in aftermath of the Second World War. Traditionally, Jewish Child’s Day was one day of the year – the first Sunday of Chanucah – but now JCD operates throughout the year.
