Our Shabbat greeting this week is a special message from the projects supported by CHW’s S.O.S. Starting Over Safely Summer Campaign.

Thanks to the generosity of our CHW community, we raised over $900,000 in support of victims of violence and trauma in Canada and Israel.

We are so proud to support these life-changing projects, and our hearts are full after hearing these incredible messages of thanks and appreciation for all that we do as a community.

Thank YOU. Shabbat Shalom, everyone!

CHW is proud to support both Canadian Young Judaea and HaGal Sheli, helping to build strong young Israeli and Canadian youth, and support confidence, healing and resilience.

On July 28, Camp Biluim visited HaGal Sheli in Israel. They learned about HaGal Sheli’s emergency trauma intervention program and how surfing can empower at-risk youth to build confidence and resilience. Here is what they had to say after their experience:

“Our campers had an incredible experience. While they loved the opportunity to surf, what made the day truly meaningful was learning about HaGal Sheli’s mission, meeting teens who participate in the program, learning from them and hearing their personal stories. Seeing the impact of your organization firsthand and sharing the water alongside participants is an experience that will stay with our campers long after the summer. For them and in their words, this was their favourite day of the summer thus far. Thank you for the important work you do and for providing our teens with such a memorable and inspiring day. We look forward to hopefully visiting again next year!”

We are excited to see the future of our community understanding and experiencing the impact that we are making and hope these moments inspire them to create their own impact now and in the future.

The S.O.S. 30-hour crowdfunding campaign is starting TOMORROW, August 18-19!

We are turning our focus to the amazing projects you will impact when you make your donation. This year, the campaign is supporting seven amazing projects, including Franny’s Fund here in Canada.

The S.O.S. Campaign provides access to critical resources for victims of abuse, including legal counsel and counselling services. Centres across Canada offer important services to help children/youth and their families who are navigating the criminal justice system or recovering from abuse. The early intervention of counselling significantly impacts the success of participants in the future.

Every dollar you give during the campaign will be quadruple—turning $25 into $100 or $100 into $400. 💙

Your generosity supports incredible projects like Franny’s Fund, which directly empower at-risk youth and families who rely on these services not just to survive, but to thrive!

With only a week left until our S.O.S. 30-hour crowdfunding campaign on August 18-19, we are turning our focus to the amazing projects you will impact when you make your donation. Today’s focus is HaGal Sheli.

The S.O.S. Campaign funds surf therapy for trauma survivors at HaGal Sheli הגל שלי . New this year, your support will also provide educational and leadership guidance for severely at-risk youth through HaGal Sheli’s Lighthouse Program. At a time when vulnerable youth are falling through the cracks of overburdened systems, this program offers something essential: consistent, high-quality support that helps them regain stability and re-engage in positive developmental pathways.

Every dollar you give during the campaign will be quadruple—turning $25 into $100 or $100 into $400. 💙

Your generosity supports incredible projects like Hagal Sheli, which directly empower thousands of Israeli women and children who rely on these services not just to survive, but to thrive!
