Our team at Vision for Israel is constantly working to help others. Even in times of rest or personal time, we are constantly thinking and praying for those who need our help. We always want God’s love to be felt by all.

Our hearts are always with the people of southern Israel, not only in times of trouble but throughout the year. Vision for Israel supports the victims of terrorism and violence in various ways, including monthly financial assistance, distribution of school bags to children, and holding events for them. These events allow them to get out of the house and relax mentally and physically in a safe space.

During the increasingly common "Code Red" alerts, the residents of the south are forced to leave everything and reach a protected area within a few seconds. Failure to reach a shelter can result in injury or, God forbid, death. This kind of pressure is hard on the nervous system, and the people living in this area are in a constant state of fight or flight. Many suffer mental illness because of the constant stress and fear that they won’t be able to find shelter in time.

Thanks to our loyal friends and donors, Vision for Israel recently placed 9 mobile shelters throughout the Gaza Envelope settlements, including Okafim, Netivot, Kibbutz Nir Am, Giv’olim, Dorot, and Gevim. Overall, a total of 30 shelters have been placed thanks to the donors of Vision for Israel, and we are planning on donating another 30 shelters as soon as we are able. All shelters are located near public spaces, parks, schools, neighborhoods, and shopping centers so that the maximum number of people have access in case of an emergency.

Even during quiet days, the presence of the shelters close by gives locals a sense of security and peace of mind, as much as is possible in a violent zone. Being allowed to go about normal life is a rare gift for the people in these areas, and many are very grateful.

We received words of thanks from the people of the south, and we were moved and touched by the gesture. We pray that days of peace and security will come soon and that they will never need shelters again.

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.“ - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

The work of Vision for Israel has become a lighthouse and a safe harbor for many people. During our time as an organization, we have helped Holocaust survivors, children at risk, victims of terror attacks and PTSD, new immigrants, lone soldiers, and those in poverty in Israel. 

Recently, we donated 5 ambulances and 3 medi-cycles to MDA (Magen David Adom). And so far, over 30,000 emergency responses have occurred with these vehicles. Saving lives and saving people is what it is all about. 

Now, Vision For Israel is proudly adding two new vehicles to the list of donations. These include:

An intensive care ambulance that will be stationed in the city of Modi'in.

A Bloodmobile—A special mobile unit for receiving blood donations—the first of its kind in the country.

Thanks to you,  our generous faith-led donors, 30,000 people have been able to receive medical assistance.

The dedication event was heartfelt and meaningful, full of sincere speeches and words of gratitude. The event took place at the Millennium Center in Modi'in, Vision for Israel's headquarters. Among the guests were the mayor of Modi'in, Mr. Haim Bibbas, the director-general of the Modiin municipality, Mr. Yoram Carmon, and the municipality's deputy CEO Mr. Guy Ido.

MDA representatives included: Dr. Eli Yaffe, Prof. Eilat Shinar, GDP Yoni Yagodovsky, Ephi Bar, Lt. Col. Ziv Kleinbert, Lt. Col., Lior Altman, Adi Elias, Rafael Herbst, and Abigail Klein.


“This is a day we dreamed of seeing since Vision for Israel was founded and began 27 years ago. Not only being able to save lives when needed, but to serve the community around us and all Israel. It gives us the privilege to serve, providing hope and strength in any time of need for emergency services provided by Magen David Adom. We do not just believe in miracles and visions but in their coming to fulfillment.” -Barry

Due to the generous donations of our heroic donors, Vision for Israel has been able to donate a new life-saving medi-cycle to ZAKA, which will be stationed in the south of Israel, in the city of Eilat.

ZAKA (abbreviation for Zihuy Korbanot Ason, meaning Disaster Victim Identification) is a series of voluntary community emergency response teams in Israel.

The medi-cycle was dedicated on Sunday in a small ceremony that was held at the Millennium Center, in the presence of ZAKA's chairman, Barry and Batya, ZAKA's CEO, staff members, and volunteers.

Barry said, "This is a moving moment for me. I made Aliyah to Israel as a lone soldier about 30 years ago, and since then I have been working a lot to help lone soldiers and the weaker populations. Saving lives is in my blood. I thank the ZAKA volunteers with all my heart for working year-round to save lives... I bless this activity and holy work. We will continue to cooperate between our organizations in saving lives, in order to improve life for humanity and for the people of Israel".

The medi-cycle is equipped with the best medical equipment and will provide first-aid, and quick response in the city of Eilat and the surroundings.

Today, we support emergency and rescue organizations by providing essential, life-saving equipment in Israel and around the world. Since our establishment, we have been receiving and donating shipments of medical and humanitarian-aid equipment.

In more recent years, we have provided brand-new equipment tailored to the needs of various medical and emergency organizations, such as medic bags, resuscitation units, and even fully equipped ambulances and medi-cycles.

In February 1996, as terror attacks became prevalent, we started helping terror victims out of a desire to ease the incredible distress they had fallen into.

"I am anticipating and praying that the medi-cycle will only be called for births and happy occasions. There is no doubt that this donation will help the residents of Eilat immensely."
