The Iranian American Jewish Federation of New York (IAJF) is a community-based, not-for-profit organization with a global outlook. For 20 years IAJF has enabled Iranian Jews in the Greater New York area to collectively address matters pertaining to the local community and the State of Israel. It supports over 215 organizations addressing a broad range of humanitarian, educational, Jewish and social causes in New York, Israel and worldwide. Since its inception, IAJF has raised and distributed over $63 million dollars to advance its mission of supporting education, health, social issues, IDF programming, victims of terror and more. At TAU, it has for years provided scholarships at the Alliance Center for Iranian Studies, supported the National Center for Traumatic Stress and Resilience and, most recently, dedicated the Yosef and Farang Shahery Lobby at the Check Point Building.
