Crisis Response – Israel News


Across Israel, Jewish communities face each day with fear and uncertainty. Neighborhoods have been shattered, and countless lives have been changed forever.   

In these extraordinarily difficult and painful moments, The Fellowship remains steadfast in its support of the Jewish people. Even as violence threaten civilian areas, The Fellowship continues working on the ground in Israel to meet urgent and lifesaving needs. From emotional trauma to displacement and loss, the effects of ongoing violence are immediate and profound — and The Fellowship is committed to helping those affected with compassion, care, and hope. 

Emergency responders and rescue teams work together at the site of a building collapse, providing aid and searching for survivors amidst debris and damaged structures.

The Fellowship’s Impact

The Fellowship is responding to an overwhelming and growing number of emergency requests and is reassessing needs daily as the situation evolves. In addition to our ongoing support for Jewish people in need, we are prioritizing emergency assistance for those most affected by the current attacks.

Since October 7, 2023, The Fellowship has committed over $300 million in aid to Israel to address urgent and ongoing needs. This includes providing prepacked emergency food and water, critical equipment for first responders and security personnel, and Aliyah support for olim and other vulnerable populations impacted by the war and continuing conflict.
