STAND WITH ISRAEL

---

Providing war 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 continually allocating vital aid in the form of:
 

• Essential gear for soldiers - jackets, thermal shirts, tzitzis, headlamps, tactical equipment, and more
   
• Support for displaced families - clothing, food, appliances, toys, childcare, and emotional support
   
• Help for families in southern cities - financial aid, food vouchers, books, and activity kits for children
   
• Assistance for families of reservists - easing the burden on homes where fathers and husbands are repeatedly called to serve 

When Iran launched a direct attack on Israel, we were there, too - providing support for food and other urgent necessities for struggling families stuck at home or huddled in bomb shelters.

And we are not done.

Unfortunately the Swords of Iron 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 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.
