It has been six months, or 183 days, since the life-changing terrorist attacks on October 7th. 134 individuals still remain captive in Gaza.
This is a critical time for the future of Israel and the Jewish people. We know that the events of the past six months have been challenging, frustrating, and filled with worry and uncertainty. As we navigate these pivotal moments together, we are reminded of the enduring strength and resilience that defines us.
Today we want to focus on the actions we have taken and the ways the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston has stood with Israel in the aftermath of the attack. We continue to provide support, resources, and advocacy to help Israelis, and to combat the resulting complexities and increased antisemitism we are facing at home.
The Federation, in partnership with the Houston Jewish Community Foundation has raised a historic $14.8 million for our Israel Emergency Fund. And, with our most recently approved board allocation of $2,125,000, a total of $7.8 million (62.5%) of funds have been distributed.
This chart details the total breakdown by category of the $7.8 million in allocations. The full list of allocations can be found online.
