In the immediate aftermath of October 7, 2023, the Talpins Foundation launched an Israel Emergency Fund that deployed millions of dollars to dozens of organizations supporting hostage families, IDF units, hard-hit communities, bereaved families, and wounded soldiers. With a ceasefire announced and the living hostages returned, the Talpins Foundation is launching an Israel Resiliency Fund to meet the challenges, and seize the opportunities, of recovery.
This new fund will provide a wide range of mental health support services to those most directly impacted by October 7 and its aftermath, with the goal of preventing and treating PTSD, and enabling people to resume fulfilling, meaningful lives. We also seek to rebuild Israel’s north, reviving communities, schools, farms, and businesses, and catalyzing long-term growth in ag-tech, water security, tourism, and innovation.
Every gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Talpins Foundation and administered through UJA-Federation of New York, multiplying your impact. Please contact Oren Eisner or Kerry Newman for more information.
Thank you for standing with Israel in its darkest hours—please join us now to help rebuild a brighter future.
