Caring for the widow and the orphan is among our oldest and most sacred Jewish responsibilities. Today, that responsibility is more urgent than ever.
In the book of Yeshayahu (1:17), we are told:
“Ensure justice for the orphan; take up the cause of the widow.”
A call to act. To take responsibility.
And this is not a one-time instruction. The call to act for the widow and the orphan is repeated again and again throughout Jewish scripture.
Since October 7, 2023, more than 1,400 women and children have become part of the IDFWO community. They have already paid an unimaginable price. Now, it is our responsibility to stand beside them, not only in the immediate aftermath of their loss, but throughout their lives.
Your donation provides psychosocial care, healing retreats and camps, financial assistance, education, mentorship and professional development. It gives Israel’s bereaved families the support, community and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives and pursue post-traumatic growth.
“If I don’t come home, take care of them.”
It is the unspoken request of every soldier who goes out to defend Israel.
Help us keep the promise Israel’s fallen would ask of us.
Stand beside their families. Donate today.
