Our People was created by Leah Aharoni and Rabbi Pinchos Shwalb in the wake of the war in Ukraine and the need to rescue Jews from both Ukraine and Russia.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, our team has assisted over 1,500 Ukrainian and Russian Jewish families via our consulting line, absorption coordinators, airline ticket grants, food assistance, legal clinic, and education programs for children. Our People also runs an annual non-profit accelerator, guiding 15 Russian-Israeli nonprofits each year to improve and scale their activity.
