Israel at War:
Community Resources

This war is unprecedented and devastating — and its impact reverberates across the Middle East. And the world.
As events continue to unfold, UJA continues to mobilize in solidarity and community. Here, you’ll find information on briefings, access to emotional support, and a list of resources that can meet the needs of our community.

Learn more about UJA's Response
We are allocating emergency funding to provide immediate relief to the victims of these vicious terrorist attacks. And far more will be needed in the days ahead. Learn more here.

Please check back often. We continue to monitor the situation and will update this page as new information becomes available in the days and weeks ahead.

Additional Ways to Help

  • Donate to the UJA Israel Emergency Fund - Support UJA’s work in Israel as we urgently mobilize to provide critical relief.

  • Call your elected officials to thank them for supporting Israel and advocate to bring the hostages home (Phone calls are more effective than email.)

    This is all you need to say: “It’s day (insert number of days) of the war. Bring the hostages home.”

  • Advocate to bring the hostages home by sharing this hashtag on social media and tell the world: #BringThemAllHomeNow.

  • Blue Ribbons for Israel - Send a message of support for the safe return of the Israeli hostages and show your solidarity for their families by wearing a blue ribbon publicly.

  • Letters of Support Initiative -The Jewish Agency for Israel is collecting letters of support from educators and students in the US, to be sent to educators and students in Israel.

  • Contact your colleges/universities to address Antisemitism on campus. Visit Hillel International for resources.

  • Plan Israel programs or interfaith Israel solidarity Shabbat meals with partners from other groups in your local neighborhood.

  • Post on social media and ask your friends to stand with Israel.

  • Dog Tags For Hostages - Keep the remaining hostages still captive in Gaza top of mind with this meaningful symbol of support.  #BringThemAllHomeNow
