With the war in Israel winding down and all the living hostages safely home, Jewish Federations of North America are winding down the two-year Israel Emergency Campaign and transitioning into a new phase of work called Rebuild Israel, a holistic effort to support Israel’s recovery and to help Israelis and Israeli society flourish in the aftermath of the war. Details of Rebuild Israel, key elements of which began in the emergency campaign, will be unveiled at the 2025 General Assembly, to be held in Washington, D.C., from November 16-18. “When we launched the Israel Emergency Campaign on October 8th, we knew that only the Jewish Federations system could mobilize the resources we needed to support Israel, but we had no conception of the unbelievable extent to which the effort to support Israelis in their darkest hour would develop," said Jewish Federations of North America President and CEO Eric D. Fingerhut. “As Israel begins to turn the page and its needs transition from emergency to rebuilding, it’s time for the 141 Federations in our system to prioritize and further our efforts to Rebuild Israel.” The unprecedented Israel Emergency Campaign raised a remarkable $908 million, providing immediate lifeline services, medical trauma and relief, economic relief and recovery, and community resilience and rebuilding through over 4200 grants to 877 NGO partners, including support for 208 communities and across Israel. Full details of the emergency campaign are available here. “The contributions of North America’s Jewish community to supporting Israel have been remarkable. As we look to the future, we are proud that—as we have done throughout our history—the Jewish Federations system will once again play a pivotal role in helping Israel continue strengthening itself as a bastion of flourishing Jewish life,” said Jewish Federations of North America Chair Gary Torgow. As the world stood by in stunned silence on 10/7 after Hamas terrorists attacked, brutalized, and murdered Israelis, Jewish Federations of North America immediately mobilized a historic campaign in support of the Jewish state. Federations were able to quickly leverage long-standing partnerships on the ground and use decades of experience to respond to the crisis and organize the Jewish communal response. The system surpassed its initial goal of $500 million in mere weeks to cover medical supplies, humanitarian aid, and emergency medical care. In the weeks and months that followed, the effort expanded to serve the evolving needs on the ground. The effort provided lifeline services such as food, shelter, and support to Israelis displaced from their homes; medical supplies to hospitals, ambulances, and emergency response units; economic relief to businesses and families suffering as a result of the war; and community resilience and rebuilding, including a significant focus on post-trauma relief. Federations took special care to support populations who have particular or specialized needs during this emergency, including Arabic, Amharic, and Russian-speaking populations, at-risk youth, the LGBTQT+ Community, Young Children, Women, Bedouin Communities, and People with Disabilities. The campaign relied on the decades-old core partnerships with the Jewish Agency for Israel, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), and World ORT, as well as the deep ties and relationship local Federations have built over the years through partnerships with sister cities or regions in Israel. These partnerships encouraged people-to-people connections and shared endeavors that have resulted in deep relationships, particularly post-10/7. The Jewish Federations Israel Emergency Loan Fund provided a lifeline to businesses across Israel severely impacted by the war and without access to traditional banking credit. Through its Investment Committee, the Loan Fund allocates funds to fully vetted loan platforms who each provide loans to small businesses in a particular set of markets and sectors, including agriculture. Through the ReGrow program, Jewish Federations supported the farming communities of Western Negev through grants of $12.5 million to urgently replace equipment destroyed and looted by Hamas terrorists, allowing them to resume farming in time for the first spring planting season after 10/7. The Federations-supported Victims of Terror Funds, housed at the Jewish Agency, distributed more support in the two years of the war than it had in its entire 21–year history before the war. When the war with Iran broke out in the summer of 2025, Federations once again stepped up to support the resurgence of lifeline needs, allocating $13 million to the relief efforts through 24 partners “The Jewish people’s commitment to supporting Israel has never been stronger,” said National Campaign Chair David Heller. “With this historic campaign, we have written the latest chapter in the history of our people and look forward to writing the next one as we work to further strengthen Israel and its unbreakable bonds with the North American Jewish community.”
