We Stand with Israel
Adonai oz l'amo yiten, Adonai y'varech et-amo va'shalom
May God give strength to the people of Israel and bless us with peace.
There are no words that do justice to this devastating time in Israel, the shock, the grief, and the enormity of the loss of life, and the pain of so many families and communities waiting for word about their loved ones who are still missing. There is simply no way to ever justify the utter lack of humanity we have seen as teens are blindly killed attending a concert, elderly kidnapped from their own homes, and young orphans are paraded around to cheers and celebration.
But words can and must convey our commitment and resolve. We will stand together to support one another and to share our unwavering support for our brothers and sisters in Israel.
Am Yisrael Chai!
For those interested in donating to organizations providing aid in Israel, here are a few options:
From the Kol Ami Social Action Committee:
As we follow the developing news in Israel, the Social Action Committee has coordinated several ways you can help provide direct aid right now.
Your support is greatly and urgently needed.
Magen David Adom
Your donation ensures Magen David Adom’s paramedics, EMTs, first responders, and first-aid providers – volunteers and staff – have the training, equipment, and medical supplies they need to treat injured and ill people in Israel.
Guided by values of Reform Judaism in general, and Tikkun Olam in particular, the Israel Reform Movement (IMPJ) works every day to make progressive and pluralistic Judaism accessible to all Israelis.
The Jewish Federations of North America Emergency Campaign
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.
Jewish National Fund's Israel Resilience Campaign
Jewish National Fund-USA has worked in close partnership with the communities suffering most for decades, and is uniquely prepared to assist in meeting the emergency needs created by the current crisis.
Kehillat Yozma Modiin
YOZMA is the Reform Jewish Community in Modiin, Israel, and they are providing immediate support for victims, evacuees and soldiers. 100% of your donation will go towards purchasing hygiene products, canned foods, diapers, medical equipment, socks, t-shirts, and more.
