Ways to Support the Israeli People
Our community stands for peace and against any kind of extremism, racism, or inter-communal violence. We stand in solidarity with Israel as we pray for a swift end to this violence.
As many of us look for ways to support those affected, various organizations have quickly mobilized to assist the victims and their families. Below is a list of some organizations collecting donations and requesting assistance.
- American Friends of Magen David Adom
- American Jewish Committee
- Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) – Assistance for Florida Residents Trying to Return Home
- Greater Miami Jewish Federation – Israel Emergency Fund
- The Jewish Federations of North America
- Magen David Adom in Israel
- United Hatzalah of Israel
- Women’s International Zionist Organization (WIZO)
At the October Village Council Meeting, the Council approved Resolution 2023-1594 expressing support and solidarity with the people of Israel during these challenging times. The Council also unanimously approved a $50,000 donation to United Hatzalah to support their efforts in providing assistance to those impacted in Israel.
