With the recent spike in anti-Semitism, it is more important than ever to support Israel. By donating to this campaign you are:

· 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.
· Helping the elderly, the infirmed, and the needy with food and medicine in the cities of Sderot, Ofakim, and Arad.
· Helping to rebuild communities devastated by the attacks and keep the spirits and hopes of the people who live there, strong.
· Helping care 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.

Your donation supports 10 Gaza Envelope communities, including those hardest hit such as Sderot, Kissufim, and others. One of the 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.

Israelis are feeling like this is their 9/11 – yet proportionally at a per-capita scale 6x the magnitude. 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.
