SUPPORTING ISRAEL
AND PROTECTING OUR LOVED ONES
As you all know, over the last 3 days, Israel has been under unprecedented, ongoing, terror attacks. The unbearable number of casualties is rising constantly, and horror testimonies arise as the events unfold. We hope that your loved ones in Israel are safe. If you know of organizations or individuals who are seeking support right now, please connect them directly to us.
We all share the same urge to help and support. And cries for help are coming from all over – from logistics and emotional support to the refugees and survivors to military equipment for massive groups of reservists. We put together a list of initiatives you can support. Those are the ones that we know personally so we were able to validate. However, there are dozens of other organizations and initiatives, so in any way you get involved, it will be helpful and greatly appreciated.
