A Day of Joy for Israeli Victims of Terror

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation recently helped provide a day of fun for more than 1,200 Israeli children and families experiencing terror and trauma from the ongoing war. Through our longtime overseas partner The Jewish Agency for Israel and its Fund for Victims of Terror (FVOT), families spent a day at an amusement park, enjoying rides, games and sweet treats. A much-needed reprieve from the daily stress and fear they have been facing since October 7, this special day was full of joy, reminding us all of brighter days ahead. As of early August, FVOT has distributed more than 10,250 grants to individuals and their families who have been personally affected by Hamas’ terror attacks and the ensuing war. FVOT is often the first responder and distributes grants within 24-48 hours of a direct attack, offering assistance for short-term needs and helping with long-term rehabilitation and post-trauma care.
