STAND WITH ISRAEL

---

Providing support from October 7 and on

Immediately following the horrific events of October 7th, American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri quickly mobilized to provide critical support for IDF soldiers, displaced families, bereaved, wounded, families in the south, and others affected by the war, through our Stand With Israel campaign.

With over $4 million raised, we’ve been allocating vital aid in the form of:

-essential items for soldiers including jackets, thermal shirts, tzitzis, headlamps, tactical gear and numerous other kinds of urgent equipment 

-support for displaced families such as clothing, food, washers and dryers, games and toys for children and other vital needs. We've organized childcare and children’s activities, and offered guidance to alleviate their stress

-assistance for families in southern cities (Sderot, Ofakim, Netivot, Ashdod and others) who were not able to evacuate, providing financial aid, books, crafts packages worth hundreds of shekels each to keep children occupied, food vouchers and additional types of support

-aid for families of reservists, homes where fathers and husbands are constantly leaving home to serve

We are not done.
Unfortunately the war continues, but thankfully so does our support. 

A family in the north can’t pay urgent bills because both parents have lost their jobs in the tourist industry-we are there.

A bride’s reservist father has been injured and she needs help with her wedding expenses-we are there.

The mother of a hostage R”L suffers from severe emotional and financial stress and needs therapy-we are there.

And we will continue to be there for the long term. 
Countless families are being impacted by the war in numerous ways and American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri designated from the outset to not only provide help for immediate needs within our framework, but also for long term needs.

We have been doing so with Meron families, years after the tragedy, and we are doing it now, too. We are able to step in for crisis at a moment's notice, making us one of the most reliable Jewish charities to donate to. This crisis is like no other in Israel's history.

The need is ongoing and will last for some time.

Please help us help our brothers and sisters living on our front line.
