Israel Support Fund

#JewishNashville Stands with Israel

As bombs continue to fall on our sacred homeland we watch in fear and want to do something to help. We have heard from members of our own community who are currently on the ground in Israel that the best way to offer support is through donations.

The Israel Support Fund was created after October 7th to help address the needs following that tragic attack. Those needs continue, and in fact, have intensified as Iran continues its siege on Israel.

We are asking you to once again support Israel in her time of need. 100% of donations to the Israel Support Fund will be sent directly to Israel to address the immediate needs on the ground.

We deeply appreciate your generous contribution to the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville’s Israel Support Fund. For any inquiries, please feel free to reach out to Jason Sparks at jason@jewishnashville.org.

Thank you for your support.

Where does the money go?

• Essentials of Life: Food and financial assistance for families, the elderly, and the homebound, in the zone of fire.

• Trauma Relief and Psychosocial Care: To support wide scale trauma relief and psychosocial support with expanded capabilities through telephone hotlines; providing direct care to first responders, the injured, and families whose relatives were murdered, injured, or abducted; training and support for caregivers and responders including hospital emergency teams and municipal teams.
