Story

Dear friends and family,

On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a brutal terrorist organization, didn't just attack a country, it attacked the heart of the Jewish nation. They attacked the Holy Land, Israel. Over a thousand people were horribly murdered, over 200 kidnapped. You don't have to be Jewish to be horrified by this, you just have to be human. I wanted to raise money for Israel for my 11/16/2024 Bar Mitzvah. I am a great-grandson of Holocaust survivors, a grandson and son of religious and political refugees, and supporting Israel is very important to me as a Jewish person. Please, donate to my Bar Mitzvah project to support Friends of IDF (FIDF), a non-profit organization that helps provide well-being supplies and care packages for Israeli troops. Without Israel, the Jewish people, who are less than 2% of the world's population, are as good as dead. We will never again be exterminated, and we must stand up to do what's right. I hope you consider donating, and I thank you! Am Israel Chai!"
