Your generosity in this moment is supporting those most in need in Israel. Together, and in less than a week, we have granted an initial $2+ million to meet five core areas of need.
-
Emergency Medical Care through United Hatzalah, Magen David Adom, Barzilai Medical Center, Soroka Medical Center (Be’er Sheva), Assuta Ashdod Hospital/Medical Center, and Sheba Medical Center
- Evacuation Efforts through Dror Israel
- Supporting Victims & Their Families through the Fund for Victims of Terror, a program of The Jewish Agency for Israel
-
Trauma Response through the Israel Trauma Coalition
- Short-term "Adoption" of Kibbutz Re’im on the Gaza Border
These investments are the first in a series of emergency funding as we continue to support Israel and those in need. Please stay tuned for future updates.
