I Stand with Israel — Maoz Israel

Launched in 2002,

is the benevolence arm of Maoz Israel aiding victims of terror, widows, orphans, needy families and those with medical emergencies

YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Aiding people in Israel is a delicate art. In one sense people are excited for breakthrough in their lives, but our nation is small and the Body of believers in Israel is even smaller. As some of the stories cover sensitive topics, some names were changed to protect their privacy and dignity. Rest assured, however, the life-changing impact ISWI’s aid has been able to offer them is entirely real!

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.

It seems every year has its own unique flavor when it comes to how I Stand with Israel disperses more than half a million dollars among Israel’s believers, both Jewish and Arab, from over 100 congregations across the country. 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. The turmoil meant thousands of Russian and Ukrainian Jews were suddenly applying for Israeli citizenship. It also meant those who couldn’t move to Israel were living in a war zone. These are just some of the stories of how I Stand with Israel supporters changed the lives of people in their time of trouble.
