On the morning of Saturday, Oct. 7, the world woke up to the devastating news that Israel was under attack during the high holiday of Shmini Atzeret. Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, indiscriminately murdering, raping and kidnapping innocent civilians – men, women, children and the elderly.
Just hours after the initial attacks, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia mobilized and opened its Philly Stands With Israel Emergency Fund. Through the community’s collective support, the Jewish Federation was able to immediately deploy dollars for humanitarian relief and recovery efforts for impacted communities in Israel
The Jewish Federation is proud to share the following report, which highlights the impact you made through your generosity and commitment to the Jewish homeland. Thank you.
