Published by Philanthropy Roundtable on 10/12/23. Philanthropy Roundtable is providing a list of organizations offering humanitarian aid to Israel, as well as those actively working to fight a growing tide of antisemitism. Israel is in crisis after the terrorist organization Hamas launched unprecedented and brutal attacks against Israeli civilians, including young children and the elderly, over the weekend. The death toll from the massacre has now surpassed 1,200 fatalities. U.S. citizens are also among those being held hostage in Gaza. As Israel reels from these attacks and works to recover the dead and attend to the wounded, families have been displaced from their homes and separated from loved ones. They continue to search for information on those who were kidnapped. At the same time, antisemitism continues to mount, reaching historic levels in recent years. In some corners of the world, the surprise attack by Hamas was met with cheers, including at a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City’s Times Square, where “speakers mocked slain civilians and called for the elimination of Israel.” We are deeply saddened and horrified by the terrorist attacks against Israel and the enormous loss of life among innocent populations. Philanthropy Roundtable stands in solidarity with the people of Israel and all Jewish communities in America and abroad. At the Roundtable, we encourage charitable giving to organizations that respond to crises in a timely, targeted manner and in a way that reflects our shared values. Israelis are in desperate need of humanitarian aid and recovery assistance as war now rages against Hamas. If you are looking for ways to give, please consider the following organizations as they work to aid civilians now living in a war zone and combat the new wave of antisemitism around the globe.
