The £180,000-plus raised from Emunah's musical soiree at London's Guildhall will help to establish a family support and day care centre in northern Israel and maintain its 35 projects for vulnerable children in Israel.
The new centre is in memory of Emunah honorary life president Lady Jakobovits.
Attended by 350 guests, the concert featured Israeli harmonica players the Adler Trio and three tenors from the Welsh National Opera.
In keeping with the musical theme, Michelle Hirschfield launched the Emunah Young Jewish Musician of the Year, open to 11-18-year-olds who have achieved at least grade four or equivalent in keyboard/piano, woodwind, strings, brass or solo voice.
