On 24 February 2022, the lives of many Ukrainian and Russian Jews changed forever. Thousands of families had since found refuge in Israel, forced to start afresh and rebuild their lives here.
Children
of new olim
Here in Israel we believe that children are our greatest asset. With the help of our donors, we were able to help kids in need and make them feel cared for, loved and welcome despite difficult circumstances.

Since the start of the war, we have been proud to be part of the civil effort to support Israeli soldiers and their families. For those fighting on the frontlines, we've raised funds for medical equipment, hot meals, electrical appliances and even a few FPV drones. We also strived to help the families of reserve soldiers who faced difficulties due to the war.

In recent weeks, we have donated dozens of washers, dryers, heaters, and other electrical appliances to evacuated families now living in hotels and hostels to help them cater to their basic needs and get a feeling of home and a modicum of stability in their day-to-day lives.
One of our most touching projects was a Bar Mitzva for a boy from a one-parent family from Netivot. You have never seen joy until you saw 100 perfect strangers dancing their shoes off to make this boy happy! The mother cares for several special needs children and elderly parents and has a hard time under ordinary circumstances.
We've held numerous Bar and Bat Mitzvahs for children from evacuated families, ensuring that they're able to celebrate their important day far from home despite the difficult circumstances. This video is from our most recent Bat Mitzvah, which was a great success. And we had a special guest - Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel David Baruch Lau!
What makes our mission special is that we don't aim to address only the immediate needs of those impacted by the crisis, but also to ensure their well-being and dignity during these challenging times.
