- Yad BeYad Association - Netherlands
- Netherlands: Yad be Yad (Hand in Hand) is een liefdadigheids non-profit organisatie opgericht in 1982 door Mevr. Shelly Hoshen, (huidige president). De "Bait Ham" (een warm onderkomen) project is van de ondernomen projecten door Yad be Yad speciaal gericht op de hulp aan kinderen. Deze kinderen komen uit niet functionerende gezinnen waar de ouders niet in staat zijn om voor basis behoeften van een kind te zorgen. Veel van deze kinderen hebben een moeder of vader (waarvan er tevens gezinnen zijn met alleenstaande ouders) welke in de gevangenis zitten, of er zijn ouders die serieuze drug- alcohol verslaafden zijn. De kinderen hiervan worden mishandeld, verwaarloosd, verhongeren, kortom hebben professionele hulp nodig! Iedere dag, worden de kinderen in deze warme onderkomens gevoed met warme voedzame maaltijden.Worden ze zowel psychologisch als sociologisch begeleid en krijgen ze een beetje onvoorwaardelijke liefde en tederheid, gewoon een beetje aandacht dus door een team van professionelen en vrijwillige gemeenschapswerkers.

- Yad B'Yad
- Yad B'Yad" (Hand-in-Hand) is a non-profit organization established in 1982 by Mrs Shelly Hoshen, who serves as its president. The rationale behind the organization's activities is founded on the premise that every child born into this world has an inherent right to be loved and nurtured, to receive a suitable foundation to develop into productive adults with equal opportunities to integrate and realize their full potential in mainstream society. "Yad B'Yad" therefore extends a helping hand to children at risk throughout Israel. Since Israel's inception in 1948, enormous effort has been invested in educating and nurturing the young generation. However, many children have been left behind in deprived neighborhoods, victims of poverty, neglect and a hostile environment. Many of these children are still ostensibly under the supervision of their parents, who sorely lack the skills and means to cope with their children's problems. Many of these children come from immigrant, single-parent families, living in particularly dire economic circumstances and dependent on national welfare authorities for financial assistance.

Our mission is to raise awareness and facilitate healing. The Center is a valuable source of circumcision information for parents and children's advocates; childbirth educators and allied professionals; medical, mental health, and academic people; Jews; and others. Our Directors (majority is Jewish*) and Professional Advisory Board members (one-third is Jewish*) consist of researchers and clinicians in the fields of medicine, mental health, and social science.
Based on a review of medical and psychological literature and our own research and experience, we conclude that circumcision is not advisable.

Youth : Camps
- Camp JORI
- Camp JORI, the only Jewish overnight camp in Rhode Island, has been providing memorable summer experiences for children since 1937. As we look forward to our next season, a quote from one of our satisfied campers sums up the feeling of JORI best: "Camp JORI is better than Disneyland because you're there longer and have more fun!" At JORI, we aim to develop a community of respect and cooperation, while recognizing the individual needs of campers. Our staff works hard to help each child reach his or her potential in our comprehensive program of sports, activities, Jewish culture and friendship along with a large dose of that JORI "family feeling." Dietary laws of kashruth are observed. Camp Director Ronni Guttin has been a JORI camper, counselor, and Assistant Director. All of Ronni's children are JORI campers. She leads a team of skilled counselors, who make a summer at JORI a great camping experience. Camp JORI is governed by a 30-member Board of Directors, many of whom are parents of campers or former staff members or both. Director: Ronni Guttin President: Michael Schuster
