The Daily Giving Israel Emergency Fund is providing immediate assistance to those facing war, trauma, and financial hardship.

Israel’s security establishment has identified a significant escalation in Hezbollah’s drone threat following a large-scale attack on northern Israel - an incident described by a security official as “the most powerful drone attack ever launched against Israel.” Several drones penetrated Israeli territory, causing fires and injuring both soldiers and civilians, while others reportedly hovered above Israeli towns and strategic sites in the north, further deepening residents’ fear and sense of insecurity.

As fighting in the north continues and sirens repeatedly sound throughout border communities, daily life for thousands of families has become one of constant tension. Sleepless nights. Children afraid to leave their homes. Parents trying to maintain some sense of routine in a reality that is anything but normal. And alongside all of this, the economic burden continues to deepen. Businesses have been severely affected, workplaces disrupted, and many families are struggling to keep up with daily expenses.

At a time when many families are struggling to go to work or even purchase basic necessities, food aid organizations are delivering meals, food packages, medication, and essential supplies directly to the homes of residents, children, and families in distress.

The Daily Giving Israel Emergency Fund was established with the support of leading rabbis, including Rabbi Hershel Schachter, Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, and Rabbi Shmuel Greenberg, with the goal of enabling Jews around the world to take a direct role in supporting Israeli civilians in the North during wartime.

The fund supports frontline organizations, including Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah, whose teams continue operating under fire to save lives and provide immediate medical treatment.

​The Paamonim organization is also working on the ground to help Israeli families cope with financial crises created by the war through guidance, support, and practical tools that help them maintain stability amid extreme uncertainty. For many families in the north, this assistance is the difference between financial collapse and simply keeping their heads above water.

Together with Paamonim, Brothers for Life and other resilience organizations are working around the clock to provide emotional support, emergency equipment, and assistance to soldiers, wounded veterans, and reservists coping with trauma, loss, and prolonged displacement.

​This initiative allows Jews around the world to become part of something greater - to stand beside the citizens of Israel during their darkest moments and offer them real hope.

Because in moments like these, the strength of the Jewish people is revealed in full force - as Jews across the globe unite to stand with the people of Israel and remind them of one essential truth: Am Yisrael Chai.

Then the same Captagon Lords will start braying and neighing about how they are being targeted and the Lebanese government is doing nothing the moment the IDF decides to resume bombing Beirut and that always ends up with Christians, Sunnis and Druze being caught up in a conflict they have nothing to do with.
