The best thing about how Maoz’ benevolence fund, I Stand with Israel, is set up, is that it adapts to the needs on the ground in Israel and around the world. Some years ISWI aided those whose lives and livelihoods were crushed by waves of terrorism. Other years ISWI sought out and helped hundreds of families struggling through lockdowns. This past year individuals, families and even nations were impacted heavily by the Russian-Ukrainian war.
I find it amazing that even though we only occasionally highlight stories of the individuals and families helped by I Stand with Israel, every month tens of thousands of dollars are given by our partners specifically to help change the course of people’s lives.
It’s Hanukkah over here! The streets are lit up and warm sufganiyot (traditional holiday jelly doughnuts) are waiting at the corner of every bakery challenging our resolve.
