#BringThemHomeNOW
We mourn the loss of innocent people murdered by Hamas terrorists. And, we pray for the safety of those who have been injured
and the safe return of those who have been kidnapped.
In Israel, it is our annual campaign that powers Aliyah and absorption, ensures Holocaust survivors can live worry-free, supports at-risk youth and other vulnerable populations, cultivates a more equitable society, and connects North American Jews and Israelis. Your donation in support of our 2023 Annual Campaign ensures our system and our international partners have the infrastructure to mobilize in times of crisis. We can be in Israel immediately in times like this because we’re there day in and day out, all year long, thanks to the impact of the annual campaign. But, as with any crisis, the needs of an emergency cannot be predicted ahead of time - which is why we have also launched an emergency campaign to help provide life-saving support on the ground.
Jewish Federations are responding, working with our core partners to support victims of terror, rebuild damaged infrastructure, and address the immense levels of trauma caused by this horrific attack.
