Federation is in close contact with more than a dozen of our partners on the ground: first-responders like Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah; organizations specializing in evacuation and relocation along with short- and long-term financial assistance like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and The Jewish Agency for Israel; groups focused on trauma response and pyschosocial care like the Israel Trauma Coalition and Nefesh B'Nefesh, and many others. Collectively, our partners have hundreds of years responding to extreme crises. We are grateful to the thousands of individuals who have already donated more than $10 million to the emergency fund. Please help make a difference in the lives of so many by donating now. No amount is too small. One hundred percent of funds donated go to work to help the people of Israel.
