Established in 1991, the Rieders Foundation serves the Jewish community of North America by fighting discrimination in all aspects of Jewish life.
Our Mission
The mission of the Rieders Foundation is to enhance Jewish culture and Jewish civil rights. Our purpose has been as broad as addressing the question of Judaica within the Vatican. Our Hatzilu division provides direct financial aid to needy members of the Jewish community. We have taken on civil rights issues where the Jewish community faces discrimination including anti-Israel conduct which is in essence based upon anti-Semitic stereotypes and historical perspectives. Our spectrum is broad, our mission is ambitious and our goals are lofty.
