As followers of Yeshua, we know it’s our responsibility to help immigrants, the poor, the sick, and all who have experienced the trauma of war and persecution—and to fully welcome them into community life, and Israeli culture.

Many, like Israel’s sizable Ethiopian community, have escaped persecution for being Jewish—and have come to Israel for a sense of hope and security. For them, it often meant leaving their properties and belongings behind to live in a new land, with a new language, new culture, and new customs. 

With no assistance, the transition process can be long and complicated.

Vision for Israel and the Jewish Agency have worked together for years at absorption centres—donating vital goods like food, clothing, blankets, baby supplies, furniture, electronics— and even medical aid.

Israel is home to immigrants from all over the world who have made Aliyah throughout the years.

“I would like to thank you for the generous donation of Vision for Israel, which made it possible for us to bless many new immigrant children with backpacks for the new school year. Due to a large wave of Aliyah to our city, we always face a strong need to help new immigrants who come to the land with no possessions. Vision for Israel’s generous donation gave us the ability to bless many families in need. We thank the Lord for your generosity and we pray that we can continue to work together for the benefit of the needy among Yeshua’s people.“

Are you willing to bless Israel, make a difference in the lives of people, and partner with God's plan for restoration of the land of Israel?

We salute our soldiers and stand by our commitment to improve their lives.

Many of them leave relatives, friends, and a comfortable life abroad to come and serve the nation. Others are Israelis who have no place to go because of extreme poverty or broken families.

When not in active service, these lone soldiers go back to an empty apartment. They don’t have parents to hug them, wash and iron their uniform, or cook dinner for them. Many of them deal with financial distress due to low wages.

At Vision for Israel, we appreciate the sacrifice of the lone soldiers, so caring for them has become an important outreach project. We work closely with Yachad—United for Israel’s Soldiers—which provides large travel backpacks, care packages, and financial aid that will help the soldiers during their service.

Over 7,000 of the Israeli Defence Soldiers are alone—serving far away from their biological families.

"[We thank you] for the meaningful donation to the soldiers and commanders of the Golani Brigade towards the upcoming Tishrei holidays. We appreciate and respect [the fact] that you are always there for us, for every support aid, and for accompanying us."

We work hard to provide large travel backpacks, care packages, and financial aid that will help the soldiers during their service.

This aid is of utmost importance to families, enabling them to focus on healing from the traumatic experience without having to worry about daily needs such as medical supplies and household items. At Vision for Israel, we want to be the hand of support that comforts these, and all others who have been troubled by the horrors of war, poverty, and terror—throughout their entire recovery process.

But thanks to the help and generous donations that come in from all over the world, we are able to give a wider range of aid—including physical, emotional, and financial support.

Vision for Israel began helping terror survivors following a devastating attack on a bus in Jerusalem in February 1996 that personally affected our founders, Barry and Batya Segal. In this attack, their eldest daughter lost 3 of her schoolmates.

Then, around Passover, another acquaintance of their daughter was killed in another bus bombing. These were bus lines that their daughter had used often. This personal tragedy inspired Barry and Batya to visit the relatives of the victims who had lost their loved ones in these attacks and to support them in their hardships.

Since Passover in 1996, it has been one of Vision for Israel’s highest priorities to comfort families who have been torn apart by terror attacks. What began with a small financial gift to a few families, blossomed to include more than 200 families annually with the opening of The Joseph Storehouse in 1998—and has grown to thousands today, through the Millennium Centre.

According to Israeli National Security data published in 2017, over 20,000 citizens have been injured—and more than 1,300 killed—in acts of violence since 2000. Unfortunately, the number of terror survivor families in Israel continues to increase—to now more than 3,000.

“I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude... to Vision for Israel, for your contribution to the distribution of first-grade school bags for victims of hostilities and their families.”

“We are all one human chain, and the care for strengthening the weak links in it should be in our minds wherever we go, anywhere and anytime. I hope you can continue helping the needy and be alongside them along their path.”

“Thank you for the great effort and investment, for being professional and for your full partnership in activities for the well-being of victims of hostilities…and thus improve their quality of life.“

We provide a wide range of aid to survivors of terror attacks—including physical, emotional, and financial support.

Blessing Victims of Terror with the Bar/Bat Mitzva they Deserve

By bringing survivors together, we can bless them with fellowship and community—while also caring for their material needs.

Many must choose between buying food and medicine or heating their homes in the winter. In addition to all of this, acts of violence, terrorism, and even drought conditions can put their physical and mental security in jeopardy.

While precipitation is desperately needed across the country during the rainy season, it is often a bleak and deadly time for the poor, the elderly, and those in need who live in isolation. For such people, there is often no holiday respite with good food and company—or even a small space heater to warm themselves. For them, the sun is behind the clouds for weeks on end.

It is our mission to reach out to these beloved people, and show them through our actions that we care for them. We provide them with financial aid year-round; bringing heaters and blankets in the winter, panic buttons for their personal safety all year round, and social activities every week.

When the Holocaust ended, many persecuted Jews came to Israel for a place they could call home. However, a large number of Holocaust survivors living in Israel today are stricken by poverty and loneliness—with no families to care for them.

I have no words to express my appreciation for this unforgettable event! Your choice of interesting and varied programmes is exceptional, but this one surpassed them all. The goodwill, the lavish hospitality, the programme, everything contributed to a very successful event!

We provide Holocaust Survivors with financial aid year-round; bringing heaters and blankets in the winter, panic buttons for their personal safety all year round, and social activities.

Helping Holocaust Survivors | Project | Vision for Israel

Today, we’re focusing our efforts on some of the most deserving recipients of our care and generosity—Holocaust survivors. By definition, Holocaust survivors are of advanced age, and many of them suffer from health complications, a higher risk of mortality due to Covid-19, and ever-present loneliness. 
 
Pessy grew up in Leipzig and quickly bore witness to unspeakable atrocities acted upon her family and the other Jews of Europe. Her harrowing tale of escape, heroism, and redemption serves as an example—both of the inhuman treatment inflicted by the Nazis and the powerful perseverance of the faithful.

Like Pessy there are over 180,000 survivors in Israel who are nothing short of walking miracles who live amongst us.
 
With the help of our heroic donors, we’re embracing the Holocaust survivors and providing them with financial aid, social activities, donating emergency panic buttons, and giving them heaters and blankets to keep them warm throughout the winter.

Holocaust Survivor's Story - Escaping from Kristallnacht: Pessy’s Story

With your help, we stand ready to answer the call—whenever the poor, immigrants, holocaust survivors, lone soldiers, and survivors of terror are in need. We do this by working directly with social workers, government agencies, and congregational leaders to ensure that each situation is one of genuine need and that our efforts are making the greatest impact.

While Israel enjoyed an increase in 2019, the end of year poverty figures revealed that some 2.3 million Israelis, including one million children, still live beneath the poverty line. The report also found that nearly one-fifth of Israelis, over 1.6 million people, suffer from food insecurity.

Thanks to the generosity of heroic donors like you, we’re able to supply essential emergency relief to poor and needy Jewish and Arab people throughout the nation of Israel.

Through the Millennium Centre, our distribution hub for Vision for Israel, we're able to route essential supplies such as gift cards, clothing, toiletries, kitchen and household items, appliances, blankets, towels, linens, diapers, infant and toddler necessities, toys, and so much more—all on a monthly basis.

Since 1994, Vision for Israel has been reaching out to Israelis of all backgrounds who are struggling with poverty. And this assistance has only become more critical, as a wave of poverty has swept the land—leaving many in its wake.

“We would like to thank you for all the successful cooperation with you. We’ve had the privilege of combining forces [with you] and for a long time, your blessed donations [helped us provide aid] for downtrodden families in the city. The aid of [your] organisation with food baskets, money vouchers, backpacks, and more contributes much to the welfare of the families.”
