In this study, the well known fie's variational iteration method is used for the boundary value problems with jump discontinuities. The method depends on constructing a correction functional by a general Lagrange multiplier. Some examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The exact solutions are obtained by only one iteration. This confirms that the method is a powerful mathematical tool to obtaining the solutions easily by reducing the volume of calculations.
