Jill is a supporter of Tel Aviv University, Jaffe Foundation and other organizations in Israel. Her involvement with The People Concern, Union Rescue Mission, Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation and ADL has helped break the cycle of chronic homelessness, poverty, and social inequities.

A young person needs the support and encouragement of a mentor to gain personal growth, development, as well as social and economic opportunities.
