Six years ago, in the wake of the Tree of Life shooting, we recommitted ourselves to fighting antisemitism. ⁣  ⁣ What started with the development of our Community Security Initiative has evolved into a full-scale effort to keep the New York Jewish community safe and has expanded into multiple sectors.⁣ ⁣ Today, our fight against hate – on campus, in the streets, and online – only grows stronger.

Last #SimchatTorah, we awoke to the horrific events of October 7. We’re approaching Simchat Torah once more — and 101 hostages still remain captive in Gaza. As we observe, we pause to remember everyone we’ve lost since October 7 and reaffirm our staunch solidarity with every hostage who is not yet home. #BringThemHomeNow

On October 7 last year, the Yaham Potato Factory in Israel was brutally attacked by Hamas, taking the lives of many workers — Arabs, Bedouins, and Jews alike.⁣ ⁣ With our support, the factory was able to reopen its doors the next day, ensuring that Israel’s food supply remained uninterrupted, and factory workers were able to process and heal.⁣ #MissionMonday

Chag Sameach! We hope the first few days of #Sukkot are filled with family, gratitude, and lots and lots of shaking. 🍋🌾

Sukkot resonates more deeply this year — especially after a visit to the trapped communities in the north of Israel and the more than 250,000 people still living under constant threat of missiles just outside the evacuation zone.⁣ ⁣ Read his reflection here: https://lnkd.in/ekYbJ4As

It’s been one year of heartbreak — and one year of channeling that heartbreak into action.    Since October 7, we’ve leveraged relationships with hundreds of partners and grantees, allocating $134 million to date. Throughout this time, we’ve provided emergency aid and invested in the long-term needs of the people of Israel as they begin the journey of healing and rebuilding.    See our impact over the past year here: https://lnkd.in/e_MHJ7zK
