RABBI CHAIM BRUK: ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND
Israel is at war. We must respond.
We are raising and sending funds to Israel after the brutal murder of over 1,200 Jews and thousands injured, in attacks on Israel during Shabbos and the Simchas Torah holiday.
All of the funds raised will be distributed directly by Rabbi Chaim and Chavie Bruk among people and organizations that they know on the ground in Israel. The funds will be used to support:
- Victims of Terror
- IDF Soldiers
- Equipment
- Food, Shelter & Hygiene
- Spiritual Support
- Trauma & Therapy
Please donate now and stand united and in support with the people of Israel during this time.
