URJ:

With an eye toward the future we envision, we offer these steps we hope Israelis and Palestinians will take at this moment of intense challenge and deep pain. We do so because of the bond and love we feel for our Israeli siblings. Our commitment to a strong, vibrant, Jewish and democratic state of Israel, secure within its borders, is unyielding. The October 7th attacks and subsequent war have made unequivocally clear the existential threats facing Israel.

The Hadar family Tal, her husband Roy, Yahav (7), Reef (4), and baby Libi (3 months), survived a horrendous Hamas attack in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, near the Gaza border on October 7th. In the wake of this horrifying event, they lost their home and their sanctuary, and all their possessions were burned to ashes. The emotional scars run deep, making them unable to work to support their family. Both are self-employed therapists who dedicated their lives to helping others' well-being and now desperately need assistance. You can directly and significantly impact their life and help them on their long journey to recovery.
