A Home Shouldn’t Be a Hazard: Thank You for Giving Safety and Dignity to Holocaust Survivors

At Israel365, we believe in the sacred responsibility of caring for the people of Israel—especially those who have no one else. When we invited you to give, you didn’t hesitate to help Israel’s most vulnerable;

Thanks to your donations, we were able to partner with Tenufa Bakehila—an Israeli nonprofit with decades of experience repairing homes for the elderly and poor. Together, we reached six Holocaust survivors whose living conditions were unsafe, undignified, and in desperate need of attention.

Because of you, these survivors now have safe, livable homes.

Here’s what your generosity made possible:

  • Miriam*, in Jerusalem, no longer has to live with pigeons flying into her home. Your support installed proper window screens and gave her apartment a fresh coat of paint, restoring her peace and privacy.
  • David, also in Jerusalem, was surrounded by mold, broken plumbing, and faulty lighting. You made it possible to fix his walls, replace the lights, install working faucets, and return warmth and safety to his home.
  • In Rishon Le’Tzion, Esther had been navigating steep stairs without any railing to steady herself. Now, thanks to you, a sturdy handrail gives her the confidence to come and go without fear.
  • Tova, in Kiryat Gat, lived in a home with cracked walls and poor lighting. With your help, her apartment is now clean, bright, and fully repaired.
  • In the same building, Moshe was using a completely rotted kitchen. Because of you, he now cooks in a safe, usable space that gives him back his independence.
  • And in Hatzor, Rachel lived in near-total darkness with unsafe electric wiring. Your gift brought her light, safety, and a home she can finally feel at ease in.

These are not just repairs. They are transformations. They are reminders to these survivors that they are not forgotten—that people across the world care deeply about their dignity and well-being.

We’re proud to support the boots-on-the-ground work of Tenufa Bakehila. But the truth is, none of this happens without you.

Your generosity is what made these miracles possible.

As Gabi Nachmani, Tenufa’s founder, told us: “We don’t just fix walls—we restore life.” And thanks to your donations to Israel365, that’s exactly what happened.

If you’re already giving monthly, thank you for being one of the pillars of this sacred mission.

And if you feel moved to do a little more—whether through a one-time gift or by becoming a monthly Guardian of Israel—know that every shekel goes straight to helping Israel’s most vulnerable live in peace, safety, and dignity.

Together, we are making a real, lasting difference. Thank you for your heart for Israel.
