Bringing Comfort to Lives in Upheaval

When tragedy strikes and the future looks uncertain, the emotional toll is unimaginable. The Fund for Victims of Terror seeks to lighten that load in the wake of a crisis by offering financial aid to individuals and families in dire circumstances. Within 48 hours of an event, a representative visits victims and provides emergency aid of more than $1,000 and lets them know they are not alone.

Additionally, through grants and ongoing services totaling up to $6,300, this essential fund covers the months to come. We help survivors receive the care they need—psychological counseling, job retraining, and more—to recover from trauma and rebuild their lives.

Fund for Victims of Terror Providing Crucial Support Amid War With so many Israelis killed and injured during the October 7 attacks and ensuing war, and countless homes and buildings damaged throughout Israeli communities near Gaza, The Jewish Agency’s Fund for Victims of Terror has kicked into high gear, operating on a wider scale than ever before. And we are continuing to deliver more critical support as the war remains ongoing.
