The past few days have been very unsettling for our partners in Nazareth. The war of the US and Israel against Iran has ratcheted up fears that expanded hostilities will impact northern Israel. Recently, the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon fired missiles into northern Israel and the Israel Defense Forces responded with attacks on Hezbollah locations.

Please join us and our friends and colleagues in Nazareth in praying for a cessation of hostilities and a sustainable and just peace for the region.

In a world that often feels heavy with fear and uncertainty, there's a truth we all need: hope always finds a way. We're privileged to share a truly moving story that helps instill this hope, reaching hearts in Nazareth and far beyond.

"The Light That Never Goes Out," written by Najlaa Asmar, a clinical psychologist and Director of the Maana Center at Nazareth Hospital , is more than just a story. It's a powerful guide designed to help us navigate difficult times by tapping into our inner strength.

Najlaa's message speaks directly to what many families are facing – the unsettling noises, the sirens, and the anxiety that touches both adults and children. Yet, she reminds us, "in the midst of it all, there remains room for inner strength, for compassion, and for psychological resilience that we can build with our children, step by step, through listening, dialogue, and embracing."

This story is a call to draw reassurance from within and pass that strength to our children and loved ones. It’s about keeping the flame of hope alive, even when it feels hardest.

Imagine getting the specialized medical care you need, right when you need it. That's the vision driving our support for doctors like Dr. Ihab Sulemain through the Advanced Training for West Bank Physicians Program at Nazareth Hospital

Dr. Sulemain, currently specializing in Cardiology, shared how much he values the program: "I really enjoy the program...I don’t need to go to another university after I finish the internal medicine program in order to do a cardiology specialization."

This unique efficiency means dedicated physicians can bring vital, specialized care to West Bank residents faster, directly addressing a critical need. It's about empowering healthcare leaders and improving lives
