They Are on the Run, Their Future Uncertain, Their Present Tenuous. They Need Our Help!
Imagine being told that you must leave your home. Through no fault of your own, out of the blue, no idea when and if you can return, and no idea what the future holds.
For more than 200,000 Jews in Israel – and the number continues to grow – this nightmare is their reality. The ongoing terror activities in both Northern and Southern Israel have forced residents of areas under attack to relocate. The government is doing what it can to provide accommodation for these hundreds of thousands of exiled Jews, but the sheer number of displaced Israelis is overwhelming, not to mention the needs for food, basic necessities, and encouragement during this very challenging time.
Enter Chabad Israel, Providing Assistance on Every Front. Chabad Israel has stepped in and stepped up, providing food for these refugees. 64,000 Shabbos bags were distributed this past week. A hotel with 100 beds was rented out for those in need of a place to stay, at the cost of $10,000 a night. Huge shipping containers full of desperately-needed supplies are being sent from overseas, with a shipping cost of $18,000 per container. Meals are being catered for those with a place to stay but no food.
And then there are the individual stories of those in desperate need whose plight tugs at our heartstrings. The family in Ashkelon with no bomb shelter in their building and cannot run to the nearest shelter because the father had a leg amputated. The family up North with members who are hard of hearing and cannot even hear the sirens that would alert them to flee for their lives. The Ukrainian Jews who fled to Israel to escape the terror of Russian airstrikes only to experience the trauma all over again.
For these heart-wrenching situations and so many others, Chabad Israel is there, Providing Assistance on Every Front, to help our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael.
But we cannot do it without your help. Please step in, please step up, and please partner in Chabad Israel’s life-saving work.
Our fellow Jews need food. They need medical care. They need encouragement. They need housing. They need comforting.

With a United Front, we will offer help and healing. With a United Front, we will bring solace and comfort. With a United Front, we will merit Hashem’s help and victory.
