On October 7, 2023, Israel was invaded by Hamas terrorists in an unprecedented attack. Over 1300 Israelis have been murdered and thousands have been wounded. 203  Israelis – including mothers and fathers, children and fragile seniors – have been abducted and forcibly taken to Gaza. 

When Israelis are hurting, it is our call-to-action to help.

Jewish Federations are responding, working with our core partners to support victims of terror, help rebuild damaged infrastructure, and address the unprecedent levels of trauma caused by this horrific attack.

Now, more than ever, they need your support. Israel will prevail and the Jewish people will stand together as we always do. Am Yisrael Chai.

Dollars will be dedicated to initiatives including:

1. SAFE EVACUATION OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND VULNERABLE ISRAELIS RESIDING IN CONFLICT ZONES, ensuring the swift relocation of those most at risk to places of safety and refuge.
2. CRITICAL ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORISM, extending grants rapidly, typically within 24-48 hours, to those directly impacted by acts of terror, whether through injury or the heartbreaking loss of a family member. These funds aim to address urgent and immediate needs.
3. MENTAL HEALTH AND RESILIENCE SUPPORT, providing essential mental health services to civilians, including children, who have endured the trauma and grief inflicted by these distressing events, through a range of tailored programs.
