My JNF Israel Resilience Campaign Fundraising Page

Welcome to my Bat-Mitzvah Fundraising Project for Israel. Last June I visited Israel for the first time with my family. The people, the food, the land, and our adventures in Israel changed my life forever.
October 7th happened only months later, devastating Israel and affecting so many people we personally know and are connected to.
I am dedicating my bat-mitzvah project to raising money for JNF's Israel Resilience Campaign. My parsha for my mitzvah is all about farming, which is what the mission of JNF usually centers on. But with the events of October 7th and the war that followed, this incredible organization has shifted it's resources to support Israeli citizens in their recovery efforts and effects of the ongoing conflict.
It is my goal to have 100 people donate 18 dollars. With your donation, you will receive seeds to plant directly from me of the anemone flower, which is the national flower of Israel. The seeds are both a thank you for your support, and a way for all of us to physically plant the 'seeds of hope' for Israel here in the United States.
Thank you for your support, it means so much to me.

Jewish National Fund is on the ground with communities in the south devastated by the attacks, ensuring immediate needs are met and future requirements are fulfilled. We have worked closely with these southern communities for decades. We know them better than anyone else, and will be there when they start to rebuild their lives in the future. I am supporting JNF-USA's $10 million Israel Resilience Campaign to fund these needs:
· Evacuating 10,000 residents from Gaza border communities to safer places—the State covers the evacuation of everyone within 4 kilometers of the Gaza border but everyone within 7 kilometers must be evacuated – the entire area has become a closed military zone. We have evacuated 2,200 people to the Eilot region, 1,500 people to Ramat Hanegev, 1,500 people to Central Arava, and more every day.
· Providing evacuees with necessary supplies such as bedding, toiletries, clothing, etc.
· Providing firefighting and protective equipment for civil defense – the first responders to community emergencies -- including radios, bulletproof vests, helmets, and tactical clothing.
· Providing high-quality psychological treatment for civilians, including children, who have experienced this catastrophe firsthand.
· Providing respite activities for the children traumatized by terror.
· Going from home to home in the cities of Sderot, Ofakim, and Arad to help the elderly, the infirmed, and the needy with food and medicine.
· Promising to rebuild communities devastated by the attacks and keep the spirits and hopes of the people who live there, strong.
· Caring for the children whose parents are on the Ovda Airforce Base in the Negev so the parents can continue their vital work protecting our homeland.
We support 10 Gaza Envelope communities most closely, including those hardest hit such as Sderot, Kissufim, and others. One of our communities, Kibbutz Reim was the site of the Nova Music Festival where 3,000 young people gathered to celebrate peace and music. So far, 260 attendees are among those massacred by Hamas gunmen and many were kidnapped from the festival and taken hostage.
We are preparing our community partners in the north for the possibility of an expanded conflict by requisitioning portable bomb shelters for community spaces.
This attack has decimated many communities, but they will never destroy our spirit. We stand together, as one Jewish community, ready to help Israelis in this difficult time. Am Yisrael Chai.
