The trauma of this moment in Israel is unlike any previously seen. Federation stands in solidarity with Israel and is working to provide real-time humanitarian assistance, as we have for decades and during every conflict. We are grateful to our partners on the ground, including The Jewish Agency for Israel, the Israel Trauma Coalition, JDC, World ORT, and more for their work during this crisis, and to the hundreds of local community members who have already supported these efforts. If you’d like to help, please give today. 100% of your donation to Federation’s Israel Crisis Relief Fund will be distributed swiftly through our partners on the ground.
