Video: The Mayor of Haifa Discusses the War and JDC's Key Role
Watch a 4 ½ minute interview with the Mayor of Haifa as he discusses the central role JDC has played in Haifa—before and during the war as well as now in post-crisis. JDC has a particularly strong relationship with this northern city, as the organization initiated and ran programs that greatly contributed to the city's level of preparedness and ability to reach the most vulnerable populations — elderly, children-at-risk, and Ethiopian-Israelis.
Watch stirring images of the war and listen to Yona Yahav, the Mayor of Haifa who sat down to speak with Ron Grossman, JDC Board member.
Topics include:
- Why Haifa was so well prepared.
- How JDC worked in conjunction with the municipal government to ensure that the vulnerable populations were assisted.
- JDC's role in Haifa's post-crisis recovery.
- The current state of the city.
