Following the tragic events of October 7th, our community came together to provide over a million dollars in emergency aid to survivors and their families through the Federation’s Israel Crisis Fund. As the war continues, the needs of our Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel are no less great. 

 

We have officially transitioned our temporary Israel Crisis Fund into a permanent Israel Support Fund. Donations made to this fund will continue the essential work of the Israel Crisis Fund in terms of rebuilding and healing following the destruction of October 7th. It will also provide additional funds to programs that the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville supports through grants distributed out of our Annual Campaign. Among our grantees in Israel are community centers in our partnership region of Hadera-Eiron, initiatives to help integrate Ethiopian-Jewish immigrants into Israeli society, organizations promoting religious pluralism, and programs distributing food to those in need, among many others.
