As we watch this nightmare unfold in Israel—many of us heartbroken, or worrying about friends and loved ones—it is easy to feel helpless. But now is a time of action, and JFCS is working closely with our partner agencies in Israel to provide direct assistance including emergency food, shelter, and psychological first aid.
More aid is urgently needed, and there are several ways that you can help:
- Donate to JFCS’s Israel Emergency Fund
- Double your gift through company-matching donations.
- Share our posts on social media
- Create a Facebook Fundraiser for JFCS
- If you or someone you care about could benefit from trauma support or emergency counseling, call JFCS’ Bay Area Critical Helpline at 415‑449‑3700
Here’s how your support is helping.

Israelis arrive for food, clothing, and medical attention.
Displaced children receive care and protection.
Pounds of food are distributed to children, families, and the elderly.
As we enter Shabbat, we also light candles for Israel—for those who were murdered, those who are missing, and all who are suffering.
JFCS is here for you and your family, always. We stand united, and we work and pray for peace.
