🇮🇱 We stand with Israel.

Tonight, as Iran launches ballistic missiles toward Israel, families across the country are once again running to shelters - the same shelters we have worked so hard to build, repair, and strengthen.

Our hearts are with every Israeli seeking safety right now. With the families in the north, the south, and the centre of the country who know this feeling all too well.

With the communities who have lived under this threat for far too long.

Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱

The people of Israel are strong - and they are not alone.

Friends of JNF Canada stands with Israel tonight, and always. 🕯️

A night to remember.

On June 2nd, our community came together for an unforgettable Negev Gala filled with inspiration, generosity, and meaningful impact.

Guests were treated to a powerful and timely conversation between Jonathan Conricus, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and internationally recognized Middle East expert, and Mitch Garber, Canadian entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist.

One of the most moving moments of the evening was our tribute to Dr. Dan Deckelbaum, Professor of Surgery and Critical Care Medicine at McGill University—an exceptional physician, respected leader, and above all, an extraordinary human being whose care and compassion extend to people of all backgrounds.

The evening was further elevated by incredible world-class entertainment.

Most importantly, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the expansion of the Trauma Unit at the Tzafon Medical Center is one step closer to becoming a reality, helping strengthen lifesaving emergency care in Northern Israel when every second counts.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this evening such a tremendous success. Together, we are making a real difference.

Some children in B'nei Brak are receiving therapy in a parking lot.

On June 16, 2025, an Iranian missile destroyed the B'nei Brak Center for Children with Severe Disabilities - Israel's most advanced rehabilitative facility, serving 650+ children and families. 43 years of dedicated care, reduced to rub in seconds.

"It was the only place where our daughter felt safe. Every day without therapy is a loss. Where do I take her now?" - Shulamit, special needs parent

This July 6th, we tee off for the children waiting to come home.

Israel is full of places that take your breath away - ancient streets, desert landscapes, vibrant cities, sacred sites, and communities full of life and resilience.

So tell us - if you could visit one place in Israel, where would it be and why? 🇮🇱

The rebuilding of Kibbutz Holit has begun - and you made it possible.

Just a mile from the Gaza border, Kibbutz Holit was one of the hardest-hit communities on October 7. Fifteen members were murdered. Nine were taken hostage. The wounds run deep. But so does the strength.

Thanks to the generosity of Friends of JNF Canada donors - the rebuild is already underway. A new safe room is complete. The youth centre is taking shape. A vibrant community garden is being planted. New pathways, trees, and outdoor spaces are coming to life.

This isn't just construction. It's a community choosing to rebuild, to stay, and to grow - right where they were attacked.

The spirit of Holit is unbreakable. And with your support, it will flourish. 🌱

As we celebrate Shavuot - the season of the giving of the Torah - we are reminded of the enduring strength of our people, our values, and our connection to the land and State of Israel.

Shavuot is a time of gratitude, renewal, and togetherness. It is a moment to reflect on what binds us as a community, and on the shared responsibility we carry to support, uplift, and stand beside one another - here in Canada and across Israel.

From all of us at Friends of JNF Canada, we wish you and your families a meaningful and joyful Chag. May this season bring sweetness, strength, and hope.

Chag Sameach! 🌸

Rebuilding B'nei Brak - and restoring hope.

Last June, a ballistic missile strike devastated the B'nei Brak Special Needs Centre - destroying treatment rooms, medical equipment, and critical infrastructure serving hundreds of children with severe disabilities.

But care never stopped. Within hours, ALEH set up emergency tents so families could continue receiving treatment without interruption.

Today, thanks to your generosity, the rebuild is progressing steadily. Treatment rooms restored. Medical systems reinstalled. The iconic glass roof rebuilt. Extracurricular and Special Education activities reopening.

"We are no longer in a place of uncertainty," says ALEH spokesperson Shimi Segal. "Even during sirens, treatment continues."

Your support restored far more than a building. It restored safety, continuity, and hope for hundreds of Israel's most vulnerable children.

Thank you. 💙
