Israel’s heroes carry the weight of defending our nation. When they are wounded, their families face shock, uncertainty, and sudden upheaval. Standing with them is not charity. It is gratitude in action. And you showed that gratitude with heart.
Through your heartfelt donations, we’ve been able to extend a helping hand to these remarkable families through Divote. You made a difference in the most real, human way. Not in theory. Not in slogans. In the lives of people who needed you at the hardest moment of their lives.
Because of You, the Engelman Family Stayed Strong
When Rabbi Yishai Engelman was critically wounded in Gaza, his family’s world changed in an instant. They faced fear, long days in hospitals and the pressures that come when a loved one fights for his life. Your support helped hold that family together.
You eased financial strain so they could focus on healing instead of bills.
You gave them stability while he fought through surgery and began the long climb back.
You gave them strength at a moment when everything felt uncertain.
After months of difficult rehabilitation, Rabbi Engelman returned to his students in Maale Adumim. Music became his anchor, and a visit from singer Aharon Razel sparked the recording of the song he wrote during rehab, “I Will Thank You Forever,” a tribute to survival, faith and the people who stood by him.
Your compassion carried this family through trauma, fear and recovery. You gave them room to breathe. You gave them hope when they needed it most.
If you would like to continue helping families like the Englemans through their hardest moments, your support makes a real difference. Please consider donating today.
